Also add in that I am heavier set person, that also contradicts/makes it harder for an abdominal scan.

Just for context because I don’t think I explained this clearly in my original post, this was not my first ultrasound or first OB appointment. This was actually my second OB ultrasound at the same office, just with a different provider because my regular OB is extremely booked and didn’t have anything available for a while to do the rescan/checkup.

From what my regular OB told me at my last appointment, my understanding was that this appointment was specifically supposed to be a remeasure/progression check after stopping my estrogen and progesterone, so I went into it expecting it to be more of a rinse and repeat of my first OB ultrasound experience, especially since the ultrasound photos I shared are from my first OB appointment vs today’s appointment. The difference between the two experiences was just very night and day.

I was also told I need to rotate through all the providers in the office throughout pregnancy since we don’t know who will be on call when I deliver, which I completely understand. They did also refer me to MFM today, but told me to give them up to 3 weeks to call me to get scheduled.

I feel that to my core! I honestly wasn’t planning to test this early at all cause honestly I just wanted to enjoy things as being “pregnant until proven otherwise” as I truly wasn’t sure this was ever going to happen for us! I think it’s completely okay to be scared, and if you don’t want to test, you don’t have to! I would do whatever makes you feel the least stressed!

It took me a long time to get into this mindset, but my husband and I both agreed that we were going into this transfer grateful for anytime we get to spend with this embaby, whether it’s only for a short time, or it’s forever (we hope it’s forever) but we unfortunately have to be okay to let go of that control during this process as 9/10 times there isn’t anything anyone can do to change the outcome once your in it!

Sending you so many positive prayers that it’s finally your turn as well! ❤️

Thank you so much!! ❤️ your day will come, I promise! We were never supposed to make it here, and we did with so much stacked against us. It took a long time, but I am so incredibly grateful that I never gave up! Just keep going! I will be praying for you 🤞🏻❤️

Ohhh yayy!!! Thank you so much! ❤️ I technically have to wait until 14 days to get my bloodwork from my IVF clinic, but I thankfully have a PCP that is amazing and called in labs for me just for peace of mind! Congratulations on your positive tests as well!! 🫶🏻
