Update: I can start breathing again. Kinda. Measurement last week was supposed to be 6w5d and today was 7w2d, but he said different machines and blah blah. This is okay, right? I figure just not going totally to rump would get a different measurement too. The EDD I was operating from was from a website, and he said 5/17, so I guess I need an update.
I'm still so nervous! The RE was so sweet, though. Really happy for us.
Wait, your EDD wasn't just from your IUI? I didn't really pay attention to the specific timing measurements as long as the doctor said things were on track.
In not explaining well, I think. They didn't tell me an Ed before today, but I used an online calculator with my IUI date, and it's saying I should be 7w4d today. Weird!
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
Depends on how you're feeling about it all. I am willing to champion both disappointment and hope. There is a Loira for every occasion.
This was much better than what I said, which was, "Yay! Uh...I think?"
Muddled, I'm glad to hear that you got some positive stories. I'm not a good stalker. I've been watching for an update for you all day, and it didn't occur to me until after you posted here that I should check other boards.

My RE also determined my due date based on my IUI date. I figured everything else is just growth differences.
So 5/15 is based on your IUI and today would be 7w4d, but the official measurement was 7w2d. Sounds like a good measurement to me. I'm guessing it's normal to vary a bit based on the angle of the baby or the machine or the tech/doctor. Seems like you're right on track.

I'm trying not to obsess, but it's not working.
Pretty sure if the doctor's happy for you, you have good reason to be happy too! They know more than we do about what's normal!

That's my birthday so it's a great day ;-)
That's awesome!
MH talked me down. He's like, honey. He was not being precise with that part at all. He spent a ton of time recording the heartbeat, which was sweet to hear.

Mushe that all sounds great!! We had one u/s with DD where she measured way behind and I was so freaked out but it was NBD. I think these early u/ss can be a blessing and a curse!
Muddled what a mindfuck! Damn. Hoping you get something going soon either way!!
Mushe my EDD based on my IUI was 2/5 but baby measured small at my first 2 ultrasounds (once by 4 days and once by 2) so they moved my EDD to 2/7 based on my LMP. At my 16w it was measuring 2 days ahead and at 20w it was measuring right on. I was bummed about it initially and kept trying to get them to change it and then decided I'd rather have the 2 extra days to avoid induction if it gets to that. I kept being worried about baby measuring small = not developing properly but the Dr said there are pretty dramatic variations with different techs, angles, and the baby is so small that it's just tough. I vote a big sigh of relief!

So I've been having crazy pregnancy dreams that I will share for your amusement.
#1. I was having an affair with the overseas government inspector who needs to approve one of my work projects in a movie set that was supposed to be "Saudi Arabia" but looked like Luke's house on Tattoinne. He broke it off with me because it was a conflict of interest. (Note that the government approval thing is a very real and stressful part of my job right now.)
#2. My (old enough to be my dad) boss was the father of my baby. And in my dream I had my first realization that I didn't want to co-parent with him, but that we were now going to be in each others' lives forever.
Meanwhile, DH is next to me having sexy dreams about me pretty much every night. We haven't had sex since before retrieval. Why can't I get in on that dream action, since I can't have the real thing?
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. We've had sex once since I got pregnant. Between the nausea, the CVS, and the worry, I just haven't been up to it.

My OB didn't want me to because I'm at higher risk for pre-term labor. We decided we didn't think the evidence supported the restriction so we tried once during first tri when I had a good day, and it was so uncomfortable we had to stop. And now we're too freaked out to try. I kind of want to ask if this is a complete pelvic rest situation or if orgasms are okay, but I'm just so paranoid of something going wrong and blaming myself.

Totally get it! I put out maybe a week after BFP and had terrible cramps after, and it really freaked me out. I'm using the icky progesterone suppositories as my excuse for now.

First beta result is back. 724 at 19 dpo. Betabase median is 852. The clinic seemed happy with the number. I'm cautiously optimistic. Repeat is tomorrow and first u/s on Monday.
Follow up beta at 21dpo is 1574, which gives me a 44 hour doubling time. Whee!
Forgot to update on the genetic testing issue! My friend is a SLP but works in the genetics dept (for my insurance/health provider), because she does a lot of genetically linked issues, like with cleft palate. Anyway, she explained it all, which helped. The counselor called me today and went through all the info by phone, so I don't have to take the class. They use Harmony, and they prefer I wait until 11w. Whew! She's going to mail me the lab order.
