For the first time in almost two and a half years, I am no longer under the care of a reproductive endocrinologist. J (and by extension, we) were released to the care of her obstetrician after her bloodwork showed that she has successfully been weaned off of the medications.
We had another ultrasound last week at 9w3d. The babies' heartrates were 175 and 171 bpm, but both were measuring behind (by one day and two days respectively). I, of course, panicked about this. However, I have since read that crown-rump length measurements have a margin of error of plus/minus four days, and babies grow at different rates so what a baby should measure on a given day is merely a rule of thumb. I am trying to take comfort in that until our next ultrasound.

Wow, it's so wonderfully exciting to hear the growth updates! It's really encouraging to read about your success. I have my next U/S next week at 9 wks, and I'm so nervous!
Congrats on moving forward to the next step!
I'm sure it's a great feeling to move on...one step closer!
