Pregnant after IF

Intro from former Sparkler and Sweet Pea

Hello ladies,
I'm taking to plunge over to this amazing group and am so thankful. My siggy says it all, but in a nutshell, here's the story. We have been TTC since 2009 and after our 2nd fresh IVF last month, 2 blasts (4AB and 3BB) stuck and we are so blessed to have had 2 good betas (300 and 675). Third beta is this Tuesday and first US is October 16th.
I am so happy to join all of my friends from the July Summer Sparklers and September Sweet Peas (I have been lurking for about a week). I'm guessing that our EDD is mid June, but will have to wait until the RE or OB gives the official date. I'm still shocked as I write this, but am so happy to be part of your group. I hope it's ok for me to post…still so cautious and don't want to step on any toes. Any and all advice or suggestions are appreciated.
