Second ultrasound

Today's ultrasound showed two equally sized embryos at 10-11 mm long with strong heartbeats.
Next baby-related appointment is in two weeks and it's the registration appointment with the midwife, where all my maternity care will be planned out!

I have posted the picture my ob/gyn printed of both babies!

Our treatment this far

We did our fertility investigation in Sweden and that was concluded in the Spring of 2009.
We were encouraged to look into ivf with donated eggs and my spouse's swimmers. After some research we decided on a clinic in Estonia.
In the beginning of November of 2009 we went to the clinic and got two embryos implanted. The donor this time was 33 yrs old. The embryos were graded 4(1-2). The total embryo yield was poor and we got only two embryos for the freezer.
I became pregnant and my first and second beta hCG tests showed 96 (dpo13) and 662 (dpo17). This pregnancy was lost somewhere in week 6-7, I bled out completely.
The second attempt was another fresh one - with a new donor, this time only 22 yrs old. We didn't want to risk the expense of trying with the two embryos in the freezer - there were no guarantees that they would defrost alright!
We opted to spend the money for a complete attempt and the result was very good - we have seven more embryos in the freezer, besides the two that were placed in my uterus on May 20.
On dpo9 I had a bleeding and I thought everything was lost. After a weekend of worrying I took the beta hCG on dpo13 as planned, which was 174 - almost twice as high as the value at the first attempt.
A test to check if I'm predisposed to getting blood clots was also taken.
On dpo15 a second beta hCG was taken, for which we are still waiting for the result.
