There's a heartbeat!
So relieved! Baby is measuring at 7 weeks and I'm 7w2d, so all is good. We didn't hear the heartbeat but we saw that beautiful thing! I'll need to see a high risk doctor since I'm on prednisone for my Crohn's and they will do my 20 week scan.

Second Try - EDD 12/15/12
Well, I'm pregnant again. I should be more excited huh? I am, but more nervous than excited. After the miscarriage I got a normal cycle a month later, but my Crohn's flared up, so my GI doctor put me back on prednisone. She wanted us to stop TTC so I could do a colonoscopy and see what's going on, but she didn't say we couldn't TTC. So we tried and we were successful, now I am flaring again. Stupid me. So now I'm back up to 40mg of prednisone, which is fine for the baby. It slightly increase the risk of a cleft palate, but my GI doctor says a cleft palate is common for women who are not on prednisone. I keep reading that a very small about of prednisone crosses the placenta.
I wasn't going to blog about this until we saw a heartbeat at our 4/30 ultrasound, but I need a place to vent. My beta's were good. 587 at 18 DPO and 2038 at 22 DPO, I have more symptoms than last time but I'm sure the stomach issue is overshadowing even more of them. J seems excited but doesn't want to talk about it much. I'll say something to him about how I'm feeling or when do you want to tell family and he keeps reminding me to not get ahead of myself, he said he doesn't want to see me so sad again. I said it doesn't matter, a women gets emotionally invested the day she sees that + test.
So I'm sure I'll update after the ultrasound in 11 days. Hopefully I'll come back with good news and a pretty picture to post. We decided we are not going to tell family until we hit 12 weeks. Just with me being 34, having had a miscarriage, and now being on prednisone, I want to get the NT scan done before we come out with the news. Plus we'd like to tell everyone on Father's Day. Our siblings always tell the mom's first, the dad's seem to be left out.
