1. How long did it take you to get your BFP? We started TTC in July 2013. This is my second BFP. 2. What is your diagnosis? I had a right hydrosalphinx with a right ovarian dermoid cyst removed. My RE is calling it tubal factor even though the HSG after surgery showed patency. 3. What is your treatment/history? We tried 4 clomid cycles, 2 times with timed intercourse and 2 times with IUI. We got a BFP with our timed intercourse cycle which ended in a MC around week 6-7. DH finally agreed to IVF in Sept and this BFP is from our fresh transfer with a 5-day blastocyst. 4. If working with an RE, what is your doctor's protocol for transitioning to OB? I think at 8 weeks. 5. Rants/raves/hopes/fears: I'm so worried about another miscarriage, even though it's only a 10-12% chance. I don't want to tell anyone about this pregnancy until I have a baby in my arms. 6. Anything else you would like to share? Thank you for letting me share my experience here. It's great to know someone understands.

@lumilumi I also went through a fresh IVF cycle after a loss a couple of years ago! Congrats!! Sending you good vibes !:)
Wow @kahlan82, I don't even know what that's like. To have sex and know I must be pregnant... that is a completely foreign concept to me haha.
@lumilumi Welcome to a group that understands the struggle! I'm sorry about your past loss. Congrats on your IVF success!! I understand the constant worry that something could go wrong, being afraid to be excited or to tell people. I feel like we need to make a pact to try to enjoy our pregnancies as much as possible, as hard as that sounds. I'm such a worrier by nature even though I know it isn't helpful at all to be that way!

@cateyes543 I wouldn't worry too much about lower HCG numbers, since there is such a wide range that is considered normal! What were your numbers?
They have been steadily going up but started at 87, 160, then a week later it was 1272 then 2160. So it is increasing but not quite doubling.
