I have been on pins and needles all day. I just got the call... Beta 2 is in at 2,156. I am in complete shock!
Our ultrasound is scheduled for Jun 3rd, so I need to muster up a LOT of patience to wait and see. My best friend will be visiting next week - Tues - Fri so that will be a good distraction (she knows all about treatments, does not know we finally got our BFP since we want to at least hear the heartbeat and get some tests done - but of course she may figure it out when I am suddenly drinking decaf and no longer drinking any wine!)
And since our numbers were so high (and tripled from Tues) I asked if there was a possibility of twins. We only transferred 1 embryo, and we did not BD, so I never would think we would have twins but with the numbers I was curious. Our nurse said that sometimes the blasts do split but they won't know until the ultrasound (I told her twins don't run in either family but apparently that doesn't have an impact with IVF). So we wait and see.
THANK YOU ladies for being so supportive and wonderful. I am going to continue to lurk here and post (as appropriate) until our u/s. I hope to see all of you over on PAIF soon!
