The little embryo that could. Those 5 words keep repeating over and over and over in my head all week. The little embryo that could is real. The little embryo that could is alive. The little embryo that could has a heartbeat!

And a strong heartbeat (131 at 6 weeks, 4 days!)

So many emotions when we saw our little embryo that could. It made it so real. So real that this speck that we can barely see is going to grow into our beautiful baby! So exciting! But I was surprisingly sad. It made my heart hurt for the other 3 embryos that didn’t make it. I just cried so much after we left the doctor. (Blame the hormones too) but it made me miss the other ones. This little embryo that could is such a miracle and already so loved.

 

And now that we had our first ultrasound….that means NO MORE SHOTS! (say what?!!!)

 

Goodbye progesterone shots — Hello progesterone pills!
I take one of these in the morning, another at night along with my estrogen pills. So in total I’m taking all of these pills every week   —–>

And it’ll stay that way until I’m 10 weeks ( which I can’t believe is right around the corner!)

 
And I just have to tell you, I already knew I had the best husband in the world but guess what he did. As a celebratory last shot — he let me give HIM a shot in the butt! Nothing was in the syringe of course. I was super nervous to give it to him (so now I know how he felt) …but boom I just did it and boy did he bleed lol! Afterwards he said it hurt to sit down (and now he knows how I FEEL)! Lol. I am so lucky that he is my other half and I can’t wait to see how amazing he is when he’s a daddy to our embryo.

And we are officially in blueberry stage! It’s grown so much since it was a poppy seed! So so SO amazing! (I think it’s 10,000 times the size since just a few weeks ago!!)
