We have a heartbeat!!
I was so nervous but there it was, flickering away on the screen and loud and clear.
My RE didn't measure the heartbeat (boo!) but he said everything looked good.

    Yay! I always love those first ultrasounds (even though they can be really nerve wracking). It's pretty magical seeing your little one's heart flicker on the monitor for the first time.

    Thank you!
    It still doesn't feel like it's my body.
    I've had no symptoms so he sent me to get my progesterone checked and to check for anemia because I explained to him I've always been borderline anemic.
    I go back on Nov 4th. I don't know when he's releasing me to the OB, I do know we're doing the genetic testing at 10w so I'm sure it'll be after that.

    Yay! So excited for you! I had zero symptoms also so don't let the make you worry.... I've had a super easy pregnancy, no morning sickness or anything. The worse I've had to deal with was some fatigue early on. I'm borderline anemic and was already in an iron supplement, so they just made sure my prenatal was one that had the highest iron levels in it and I haven't had any issues.

    I did MaterniT21 through my OB, so you may get discharged from the RE before then. I think the standard is 8 weeks. In my case they gave me the option of transferring to OB after the 7 week ultrasound or do one more ultrasound at 9 weeks. I opted for the extra ultrasound, since I knew my OB doesn't usually do early ultrasounds (only the 20 week one is standard there).
