The Camping Trip

We went camping this weekend, so I decided to bring the meds along so I could take them on the way home, and get it all done before work on Tuesday. Well, my body decided it would help me get it done, but it kind of ignored that whole point of wanting to have a …

Bad News..

So, had the third ultrasound last Wednesday, and they were unable to detect a fetal heartbeat. Met with my doctor to go over the results on Tuesday morning, and it turns out the baby actually shrunk between the first and second ultrasounds, and they weren’t sure if the heartbeat they heard was from me or …

But that’s not likely, cause it’s me. Anyways, still haven’t had any major symptoms since the HCG was first introduced to my …
