Doppler & end of IVF Calendar

I caved and bought a Doppler last Thursday morning and to my surprise it was hanging on my mailbox when we returned home from grocery shopping Saturday afternoon.  I was so excited I wanted to just throw the groceries on the counter and tear off my pants to hear the heartbeats lol. Saturday was 9w2d and we had no trouble at all finding a heartbeat!  J was too nervous to let me play around and find both so after a few minutes we gave it a rest.  Now, J likes to pretend he is the doctor and find their heartbeats and after a day or two he actually found both with only about 1/2 inch separating them.  It is such a reassurance that anytime I am feel unsure about what is going on in there I can hear their heartbeats.

In other super duper exciting news, tonight is my last Progesterone in Oil shot and EV2 suppository!!! I royally screwed up my shots the last few nights, sticking myself in the same side two nights in a row (not a big deal, but boy does it hurt) and then also handing J a syringe which still had the needle I use to draw up the medicine.  The problem is that needle is like a 22 gauge, which is ginormous.  J didn't realize and tried to poke me twice with it and it wouldn't go in, thank goodness.

The only other medication I will continue on (besides prenatals and extra folic acid) is the Dexamethasone.  I have to taper off it, taking it every other day for a week.  I cannot believe that I am at the end of my IVF calendar.  If my RE was close I would be having my graduation ultrasound with him for 10 weeks and graduating to my OB.  Since he is in Vegas, I will just continue to be cared for by my OB.  We actually have a schedule appt tomorrow (not just a freak out appt) and I am hoping my babies are moving like crazy!
