Hi ladies,
I'm a longtime lurker here and happy to be able to post. I recognize a bunch of you from IF!
Brief history: DH and I started TTC in January 2008. Since then we have had 7 losses. We've undergone 2 IUIs, 4 IVFs, and a FET. Finally my RE said that she thinks I have poor egg quality. My wonderful and generous sister offered her eggs to DH and me. We just finished our DE cycle and we have a BFP.
My beta at 11dp3dt was 190. At 15dp3dt it was 927. I have never had my betas rise appropriately with my own eggs! I am now in the 2ww for my first u/s on August 29th!
So, even though with my history I am still terrified of another loss, I have decided to post here. I want to try to be positive for this pregnancy. So, I am cautiously making my intro here. Hopefully I'll be here for the long-run!
Re: Nervous intro

twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
