Research

Today's ultrasound looked something in between the pictures from week 5 and week 6 on this website. I also read here that if the embryo is less than 5mm (1/2 centimeter) then it is possible for it to be healthy without showing a heartbeat, but a follow up u/s in 5-7 days should show cardiac activity. Again, you can find pretty much anything you want to hear on the internet ;)

TMI warning!

Unfortunately I am 110% positive on my dates. I have a giant number 1 (first day of my period) written with a Sharpie and circled on my Seahawks calendar on July 26th. Also another July 26th number 1 circled in red pen on another year at a glance calendar that I had folded up in my planner. I have been obsessively tracking my cycles for the past 18 months so I am pretty sure about that date anyway. However, my cycles are typically on the long side, I had one last year that was 42 days, but 33-35 is more "normal." And then there is that other thing you have to DO in order to get pregnant. Honestly I wasn't quite as OCD tracking those days but I have a general idea of when we were probably taking days off, especially when I *thought* the window was closed.

Ok THAT is enough. I can't believe I just wrote that. Seriously. I'm sorry.

oh come on...that wasn't TMI. lol... er, I'm kind of one of those people who say more than I should anyway.

but, i have very sporadic cycles and they are usually pretty frequent (on for 7-12 days, no period for 7 days and then it's back). My dates were a bit off and they changed my date once they saw the size of our little nut (aka blob) at 7 weeks. They only moved the date by 4 days...but who knows, maybe your body is just really weird and it all worked out to be that you were ovulating when you thought you would be well past that?

I don't know. I'm not a doctor, but I sure have ideas to share. lol..

anywho...crossed fingers and toes over here....

Yes, ditto to what Shauna said. :) That was definitely not TMI. At least not to me. I thought you were going to talk about the state of your cervix or certain other things that indicate ovulation. Seriously, you've got to be a lot more nasty to offend most of us! :)

I hope this week flies by. How are you feeling? Still nauseous? Tired? Sore?
