FET failed.....but I got pregnant anyway!

Apparently, I fit in here.
Had a failed FET in July, but took a random HPT yesterday and it was POSITIVE. Had HCG drawn at my fertility clinic this am, and my level was 119,644. Having an US tomorrow to confirm things/dates and maybe convince us that this is actually real.
Totally shocked. The beta after our FET on 7/23 was zero, so there is no chance that embryo sat around and implanted weeks later. I had also taken a HPT on 8/11 prior to a trip out of town where I was planning to drink, and it was negative, too. Had only minor spotting after my negative beta for two days, and no period at all since then. Have had minor cramping/discomfort for the past 3 weeks or so, which I thought was my period getting ready to start (except it has been WEEKS of this).
Still wrapping my mind around things, but all signs point to me being right around 8 weeks pregnant.

**** Trigger warning ****
EDD March 28, 2017
Appointment went well today. They have me dated at 7 weeks, 4 days at the moment. We got to see the little embryo, received praise for the apparent luxury sized uterine space available for growth, and even saw the heartbeat! My EDD is May 6, 2017.
I go back on 10/3 for another US, then have an appointment 10/7 with my new OB/GYN to get established there and get Downs/chromosome testing done. Because of all the fertility discussions an PGS/PGD we did with my previous embryos, we are overly concerned about a chromosome issue. Plus, I am old, so we are going to hold off on announcing anything until we know we have an actual healthy/viable embryo in there.
I can't wait to blow everyone's minds with our news!
