Well, I called the RE's office and asked if I could please schedule my first ultrasound prior to Easter so that we could feel comfortable sharing news with our families on Easter. They were very nice and told me that I may be disappointed as we may not even see a heartbeat if we do it that soon, but agreed to reschedule my appointment to April 13th. (I will be 6w5d). I am very excited.
They also told me that I could stop the dexamethasone now (I am bloated...hungry all of the time, retaining water...and my face is swollen...just like my first trimester with Jack)...but I am reluctant to stop now. All of the research that I have found says to continue on until 8-12 weeks. I am not sure what to do. I would love to have all of the water weight and swelling go down (it did immediately with Jack) but I would just die if I miscarried shortly thereafter...so I am leaning toward continuing at least until 8 weeks.
Lastly, I absolutely do not feel pregnant at all. Not a single sign. This makes me a little worried. I am glad that my ultrasound is a week from tomorrow....but I will be worried until then!
