5.1 Weeks

This is a few days late. It's been pretty crazy at home with a few projects going on. Now, to the important stuff! I am happy to announce: according to the doctor at the clinic in Villahermosa, Mexico we are 5.1 weeks pregnant! The doctor did a ultrasound and saw the gestational sac. She says that is all she expected to see at this point in the pregnancy. Another evaluation will take place again on Saturday. 

Now, it is a little confusing she is 5.1 weeks pregnant right? Right. We thought so too since the embryo transfer was done on September 8. That's not five weeks ago. That's only about two and a half weeks. So we asked about that. The doc says, "by rule, the pregnancy time has to start counting from the last menstrual period, so we have to get a "corrected last period"; from the day the embryos are transfered we have to substract the days they are old (3 in this case) and then we have to substract another 14 days, this give us that the corrected last period, in this case it would be August 22th, it means that every friday she will get one more week of pregnancy." It's still kind of confusing!!! Oh well, at least things are supposedly going as they should. 

Hopefully, I won't be so late on the next update!
