The number of months I've been on this high dose of Clomid. The number of weeks until I'm also two months pregnant. Two the number of babies we are having! That's right my friends we found out this morning that we are expecting twins. We have known for a few weeks that I am pregnant but needed to wait for a viability scan to tell people. We are very excited but trying not to get to excited yet.
Here's the story of our experience this morning:
We had a student doctor there with our normal Reproductive Endocrinologist the student tried doing the ultrasound first. The first thing I noticed was that there were two sacs instead of one, I did not see anything in them though. This made my heart drop a little bit, I wasn't sure what to think about it and then my doctor started to ask me a lot of questions like could my dates be off and lots of stuff like that. He then took over the ultrasound thank goodness! This is when he explained that he saw two sacs and that she just wasn't pushing hard enough (Shawn still had no idea what was going on at this point, as he's never seen an ultrasound and didn't know any of the lingo.) This is when I saw the first baby, what a huge sigh of relief. Baby A had a heartbeat that we could see and hear. It was exciting and to be honest I teared up a bit over it. The Doctor at this point was now referring to it as twin A this is when I heard Shawn taking some nice deep breaths, I'm pretty sure that its when he realized that we were having twins. The Doctor then moved on to Baby B, this one he looked at for quiet a while I thought I saw a flutter on the screen but it wasn't anything like Baby A's. This is when he told us that he wasn't sure we could call Baby B viable yet because there wasn't a heartbeat that we could see or measure. We were told that it is most likely too early to see Baby B's heartbeat since they are measuring around 6 weeks. And since you can't see a heartbeat for the first few weeks and you can miss seeing it by a day the doctor was not concerned. We have an appointment next week to see if Baby B will make it or not. I'm feeling super calm about it at the moment and really have faith that everything is going to be just fine with both babies, and if not we have at least one beautifully healthy baby on the way.
The start of this commercial in the car makes me think of what we will be like when we bring our babies home.
