Beta #1 results in - (BFP warning)

in Infertility
I had my first beta today @ 13dp6dt and I'm over the moon happy because it came back at 522! Beta #2 is Thursday. We transferred two adopted embryos from two totally separate batches but we have no idea if one or both stuck. We are in for a big surprise no matter how it works itself out! After enduring two miscarriages with low and non doubling betas, I am so incredibly grateful for this day! Thank you all for your support!
