7 week Ultrasound

This is the day that we finally get to see our baby or babies for the first time!!!! Crazy to think this day is finally here. (We didn't tell any friends and only a few family members at this point) We were so excited and could hardly wait. I was starting to have a little bit of symptoms nauseous and tiredness. I have the bloating and sore boobs too but I have had that the whole time through IVF so that not sure if those really count now.  This ultrasound was at 7 weeks gestational age for us. 

The moment of truth....

There are 2 gestational sacs which means we have twins (or so that's what the doctor thought)  Upon further inspection he found this.

There were 2 babies in the same sac, so if you are keeping track that means that we have TRIPLETS!!!! And the Rosner Triplets Journey has started! We transferred 2 embryos and one had split, so we have a set of identical twins and a third baby!! We were so in shock and excited at the same time!!  All the babies had great heart rates and measured perfectly. It was so awesome to see their little hearts beat!! (heart rates above 120 are excellent)

Baby A: HR 140

Baby B: HR 148

Baby C: HR 124

This was sort of a bit sweet end for us, once we heard the heart beats that means our chance of miscarriage were down to 4% and we transfer care to a normal OB clinic. We were said to leave the amazing staff but we are looking for visiting them with our little miracles in the future.

The 2 week wait....

The two week wait is the hardest part of trying to get pregnant because you try to tune into your body's every twitch, hiccup, pinch, and what not. This is especially hard after doing so much for IVF. I am on Estridol and Progesterone suppositories and injections. I will be on these until 12 weeks pregnant.

Since my husband and I had a hard time twiddling our thumbs we gave in and took a HPT (home pregnancy test.) There is a unique way of counting the days for after an IVF embryo transfer. You have two different numbers, the first one is the amount of days after a transfer and the second in the day the embryos were in the incubator before being transferred.

So these tests were done at

We may of gotten a little carried away with testing but the way you get your positive at home is if you line keeps getting darker as you keep testing.

On 14dp5dt we went in for our blood test and our beta came back at 1556 which anything over 25 is a positive. We had a 72 hours wait for our next beta which went up to 5987. They want this second beta to at least double. Which ours did!!! We were officially preggers!!!  

Welcome to our Journey!!

I am Kelly and my husband is Joe. We are starting this blog to keep everyone up to date on our lives. This all got started when found out we had infertility problems after trying to get pregnant on our own for a year.  So we went to a specialist, located in Minnesota. We were lucky enough to have one of the best doctors in our backyard. His name is Dr. Randall Corfman, him and his amazing team of nurses and embryologists run the Midwest Center for Reproductive Health.We very highly recommend this team because of their amazing energy, caring, personable, and knowledge about fertility.

My husband was diagnosed with a very low sperm count, so we worked for months trying to get that up so that we could become pregnant on our own. After a couple rounds of clomid, and hcg we realized that this was going to be close to impossible. So this is when Dr. Corfman told us our only real option of being able to get pregnant with our own kids would be IVF and ICSI. We agreed and that is were our journey began.
