****BFP beta #2 warning****
Second beta came back at 1631, so 41 hour doubling. I cried. As terrified as I am, I'll stop posting here with any future updates, but will continue to stalk and give support. You are all amazing.
Now I just anxiously await transfer.
QOTD: I'm a paralegal. Mostly, I like the hours and the health care. I used to teach kinder in private schools... and the benefits were non existent, so I made the choice to switch.

May - July: 3 more IUIs, all BFN, on to IVF
August: IVF#1, BFN
September: FET#1, BFP!!!

I had my egg retrieval this morning. They retrieved 17 eggs! It was surprisingly easy. I'm relaxing on the couch now. I'll update tomorrow with my fert report.
I am a first grade teacher. I love it. It's my tenth year and it is very rewarding. Albeit, sometimes parents can be a drag.

Hello Sweet Peas,
I had my beta test this morning at it was a BFFN. I am at work trying to hold it together, which has not been easy. DH is out golfing today so I will wait to tell him tonight rather than ruin his day. I get to stop all meds today. I will most likely do a November or December FET. Thank you ladies for all of your support this month. You are such a blessing.
Congrats to the BFPs. Fx for everyone.
QOTD - I am a school social worker at a high school. I love my job and my kids. I am very blessed to have great principals.

I'm 7dp5dt and woke up this morning at 6am and couldn't wait any more. Beta was scheduled next Friday annd I got them to move it up to Wednesday, but I still had to pee on something. Yesterday, I tested on a wondofo and thought I may have seen a shadow of a line, but convinced myself it was my imagination. Today, there was clearly a line on a FRER. Now, anxiously waiting for beta on Wednesday. It just doesn't even seem real to me yet...
