Pregnant after IF

Intro

Hi ladies.  I know many of you from the IF board and after my long-awaited BFP (see siggy) I am cautiously joining you.  I really hope I can stay on! 

I just got my second beta results today and my nurse was satsified enough, although my doubling time was 53 hours instead of 48 so that makes me a bit nervous.  My initial beta was 60 11dp3dt and my second beta was 537 18dp3dt.  If it doubled every 48 hours it would've been 720, so I'm hoping 537 is close enough...

I'm scheduled for my first sono next Mon.! 

TTC in 2008. Stage II/III endo, Hashimotos hypothyroid, low morph (3%).
2 cycles Clomid/Ovidrel/TI/Crinone=BFN.
IUI #1 - 4 Follistim/Ovidrel/IUI/Crinone = BFN.

    I've finally given up on hoping you would be a normal pregnant person. Stick out tongue (My kingdom for a ticker, woman!!!)

    Patchen - congrats! and don't worry about the doubling. It's really supposed to be somewhere around 60 hours anyway, i think.

    My first doubling time was about 53 hours - that's still well within the normal range.

    Husband has cystic fibrosis. I'm a carrier. We did TESE, IVF, ICSI, and PGD. After two failed IVFs, we were blessed with our twins.
