Goodbye, ORM!

Today we had our final ultrasound at ORM. The baby is getting big!

The heartbeat was... 172 I think. The doc said it sounded good, and we got to hear it twice. I think the baby looks like a frog now. Not sure what angle this is so I can't tell which appendages are poking out.

After a quick blood draw, I took one last look around the waiting room and we were out of there! We're finally finished with ORM! I can hardly believe we've made it to this point!

In other news, I got my last piece of protocol, to wean me off of the hormones. I'll be done with shots on Friday, and the suppositories by December 7th! Woohoo!

  2. Thank you! I'm so happy to not have to drive three hours round-trip for doctor appointments anymore! Among other things. :)

  4. I read your blog in its entirety and I loved your story and how its become a happy ending! Congratulations on your baby!! It must have been fusterating to have needed to wait based on the financial aspect. Having to already go through the emotional part then worry about the finances. But you did it!! You should feel very proud as a couple to have mastered this.

    1. Hello! Yes, we're in Oregon! I think I remember you're in Corvallis - we're in Adair Village!

  6. Stopping by from ICLW. Congratulations on finishing up with the RE. I remember how exciting and freeing it was to go to the OB as a normal pregnant woman. Sending many happy thoughts as your little one continues to grow.

    1. It does feel really nice not to have to watch and worry and just feel like we can do things naturally for awhile.

  7. Exciting stuff! I bet it will be great to be hormone free (well, aside from normal crazy pregnancy hormones, anyway). Good luck!

    1. I think I'm most excited for not having to take meds anymore - not only were they dang expensive, but it's a pain having to make sure I'm in the same place at the same time to get shots!
