Cautiously Optimistic

We received an email message from the doctor on May 3. A second ultrasound was done and a good heart beat was detected. So we are officially into Stage 2!

We got the first ultrasound results on April 18. It was essentially inconclusive at that point, no heartbeat was detected and we were confused about the timeframe. For a while there we thought this may be a failed attempt, b/c we thought it was too far along not to be able to detect a heartbeat. Even though this was our first Indian egg donor pregnancy and things are different because of that, since we've had multiple miscarriages in the past and usually they have come about the time when a heartbeat should be detected, we were very much on edge. We held off posting on the blog here until we were sure.

So now we're into uncharted territory! 8 weeks plus. Our thoughts and prayers are with the doctors and staff of the Kiran Clinic and especially our surrogate and her family. If all goes well we will be returning to Hyderabad in November/December!
