8W2D

Boy, I have never wish for a summer to fly by before. Eight weeks is still very early. However Kathy is feeling very well considering she's carrying two. Next friday we get to go for a second ultra sound to see how these kids have grown.

1st Ultrasound

So today is another important step alone the way. Kathy went for her first ultrasound today. The screen sure did look interesting not only did it show a strong healthy heartbeat.....it showed TWO strong healthy heart beats. TWINS!!

6W2D

Since the egg transfer was on May 3rd and the eggs were five days old on the transfer date and then you add two weeks for good measure......that puts the pregnancy at 6 week and 2 days. Early, very early. However Kathy is feeling very well. Her first ultrasound will be this Friday and hopefully we'll get to hear the heart beat. The preliminary due date is January 20th, however I'm rooting for a 2007 tax deduction.

The results are in....................

....and we got a big fat positive!!!!

Kathy went for the bloodtest yesterday and the offical results are we are pregnant!! To say that we are happy would be a huge understatement. During our first attempt Kathy was very good at waiting the two weeks before doing a blood test. This time the wait was a little too much for her. On day 5 post transfer she insisted on doing a home pregnancy test (HPT). Unfortunately the results came back negative which was a disappointment.

On day 7 post transfer she tested again. This time the results seemed encouraging.

Then she did a third test on day 11 post transfer and got a strong positive.

So when she went for the blood test on day 12 post transfer we were pretty confident we'd get a positive result, which we did.

We are so thankful for all the support, thoughts and prayers. We still have a long road ahead, but we just overcame a huge hurdle.
