We have our NT scan next week. I am excited(to really see the baby) and nervous(sometimes IVF patients get false positives on the blood part of the test)...
It has been a long week, not as long as last week, though. But between finalizing taxes, and getting a flat tire yesterday(on my longest work day- 1 class in the morning and one in the evening) and pouring rain, I am READY for the weekend!
I stopped taking progesterone and estrogen Sunday(at 10 week mark) anyone else stop at that point?
It is sunny today, and I have an accidental day off(we couldn't get the tire changed in time for me to do my morning job- sucks to not get paid, but I am trying to look on the bright side).... I am going to relax a bit and then go get new tires(we put the spare on). And then I shall be outside in the sun.

I hope you get lots of rest this weekend. Sorry for the flat tire.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes on a Great NT scan!
What is the NT scan?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you get to enjoy the day. It's beautiful where I am too. Spring has sprung...finally!
Good luck with the next wait here. The nice thing about the NT u/s is that you can get that number right there (ie, within normal range). True, the rest of the sequential or integrated screen requires the bloodwork and a bit more time, but just getting that reassurance from the u/s is nice.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of people going off the P4 at 10 weeks, so that should be fine for you.
How'd it go telling Mr. S's family?
thanks Martha!
ReplyDeleteErica- Nuchal Translucency- it can rule out Down's and possible heart issues.
Evergreen- see previous post:)
Enjoy your weekend! Flat tires (and the like) come when they are least needed/expected... but I'm glad you were able to turn it into a time to catch up on some rest.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you as usual! I went off PIO at 9 weeks, I believe. :) Yay for no more needles!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was also told to stop progesterone at 10 weeks. At your scan, there are other factors other than the blood test that give them a lot of info. (I just found this out.) A nasal bone is a good sign, for example.
ReplyDeleteHave a great and well deserved weekend.
Good luck at your test next week! I hope you have a nice, relaxing, sunny weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 11 weeks! When is your NT scan? Can't wait to hear how it went!
