Well, we went to Addenbrookes for the viability scan, it was nervewracking, mainly because so many people feel that pregnancies tend to end in tears early on ... I thought things were likely to be fine, and so far so good. It was a jolly uncomfortable scan, but Dr Fatemeh Hoveyda (who did my scan today) turns out to have been an SHO under Miss Whitcroft back in the day ... small world.
Anyway, she found Lambykins pretty quick, and Iain saw the heartbeat right away, I had a tougher time, as I had a rubbish viewing angle! It was, however, the most beautiful thing I have ever seen - the baby does look like a bean! Far larger than a grain of rice though (stupid internet ticker...)
So the Dr rooted about some more, checking out the ovaries and all my cysts and follicles, seems crowded in there!
The gestational sac now measures 24 x 10 x 25 mm, with a 4 x 4 x 5 mm yolk sac, with the embryo with it's heartbeat inside! She thought the baby looked about 6 weeks 3 days ... so that's pretty much perfectly correlated with ovu
lating 3 or 4 days after CD14 on my charts ... Hurrah. My biggest cyst right now, on the left, measures 39 x 31 x 34 mm. That's the low down.
The pictures above show us happy and relieved after the scan, and the box with the frog on it - Iain kept saying 'Donatello!!' to make me laugh (it's Mr. Jeremy Fisher of course).
