Well, we got the BFP on the pee stick. OF course I started peeing on day 5P5DT. Beta (blood test) was on Thursday (30th). The results were 498.8. That is a very good number for 10DP5DT. We ended up transferring 2 girl embryos. Surprise!!! We were waiting to tell anyone in case they didn't take. Of course we won't know if we are having twins until the US, which is not scheduled yet. My next Beta is Thursday the 6th. I am continuing to take baby aspirin daily, P4 (Progesterone in oil 2mg IM shots) daily, and 4 dots every other day. Can't forget the prenatal vitamins and folic acid.
We ran into an interesting issue last week. After my positive Beta, I needed to order more P4 and dots, but I didn't want to order too many just in case of non-viable pregnancy. I have been having terrible migraines and I am afraid the medications will do sometime to the pregnancy. I have also been having some morning sickness this time. I've had it twice now. Once last week, (Wednesday I think), and today. I seem to be much more tired with this pregnancy. I wanted to sleep most the day, but instead I cleaned dog kennels and dog food holders; I still did rest between nausea and throwing up. Anyway, back to the issue. I ordered the meds and because the order wasn't over $500, I had to pay $30 just to get the meds shipped here by tomorrow (Monday). It would have cost more than the meds to get them here Fri or Sat. The issue: I have only 1 dot left and I have to have 4 for tomorrow. FedEx says they will be here sometime before 8p, but we leave tomorrow around 1100 for Nebraska to pick up the new puppy. I contacted the clinic to ask what I should do. Hopefully they get back to me before I leave tomorrow. I will put my one dot on and see what happens. I can add the additional 3 when I return Tuesday, and then change them to the normal 4 on Wednesday. Maybe the clinic can call in one box of dots, or maybe I can take something oral just for the day, or maybe the clinic has some extra someone donated. We shall see.
About the dog stuff. When our Japanese Chin died at Thanksgiving, I put a deposit down on an Australian Shepherd. Well, when out Pekingese died 2 weeks ago, I put a deposit on a Giant Schnauzer. Turns out the Aussie is ready to be picked up now. We wanted a bi-blue merle male with at least one blue eye, bit this red b-merle female with blue eyes is too cute to pass up, She was going to stay with the breeder to be a dam, but I asked if I could buy her and she agreed. I will drive to York, Nebraska tomorrow to pick up our new red merle female aussie to be named River Song. I got the phone call yesterday the giant schnauzer pup I was 3 back on a waiting list for, came avail yesterday for me. Holy crap. The litter I was on the list for wasn't due until June. Well, we go pick him up Feb 24th in Garden City, Missouri. He will be named Rory. We decided since all our Firefly/Serenity animals seems to be dying off, we would go with a different sci-fi show for our next set of animals; so Doctor Who it is.....companions of course. River bridges the two shows as there is a River in both shows.
So, what will a pregnant woman (possibly with twins) do with 2 puppies while trying to potty train a toddler?? Go crazy of course. We wanted larger dogs so Sir Chance could be rough but not hurt them like he could with the little dogs. Both breeds are great with kids, but the schnauzer is very protective of his family. They are generally one family dogs and get depressed and die if they lose their family. It is very hard to re-home them, so we want him for life. Aussies are fun and protective as well. I think they will get along well with the 2 cats, toddler, and new baby(ies).
Deep down I really want twins, but I really don't want sororal girl twins. I would rather fraternal boy/girl twins. Really all that matters is the baby is healthy. Had we transferred a boy and a girl, my luck the boy would have stuck then we would have been without the girl we were trying for in the first place. We would have to try again for the girl.....with a gestational carrier as I would be close to 48 and not carrying another at 48.
So, we wait until the next Beta Thursday. I assume if there is a rise there will be an US within a week, which would be the 13th of Feb. Heartbeat US will come later.....
