Success after IF

I am pregnant.
And my initial betas were NORMAL.
In fact, they more than doubled.
And I FEEL really pregnant.
And after 5 clomid cycles, 4 injectible/IUI cycles, 3 fresh IVF's (one out of the country!) and 3 FETs....
something
finally
stuck.
I was going to wait until u/s to shoot my mouth off, but I'm so stinkin' high about this, I couldn't wait. (He's making me wait! The french nerve of that man!!! lol)
I have NEVER had normal initial betas. Hell, I've never walked INTO my 1st beta KNOWING that it was going to be strong. Until this round.
(friday 97, monday 320, p4 30, which lines up perfectly with the numbers I had in my head based on getting 2 lines THREE DAYS AFTER MY TRANSFER!)
We put back our last 3, one was stellar, two were decent. I'm guessing from the average numbers that not all 3 stuck, which I am relieved about. (not happy about loosing embryos, but trips would be hard....)
I was lunching with my bestie of 25+ years yesterday, and EVERYTHING good in her life has happened on the 13th of a month... her bday, met husband, got engaged, got married... so I had her around for luck when I got "the call." Nurse called (early!) and I asked her if I should order TEQUILA or PICKLES... she starts yelling "Pickles! Definately pickles!!!" and we're all crying!!
So 13th pregnacy is a charm for me. I hope. I've never wanted something so bad in my life. I'm not sure quite how I'll get thru the next 2 weeks, much less past NT scan, and thru the rest.... but damnit, I'm sure as chit gonna' keep swim.ming.
(ps - nuffin' on FB, laying low with family for quite a while)

LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
Life is beautiful!
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

So thrilled for you girl!!! Yeah, for great betas and wishing you the best pregnancy.

Big smiles and hugs from me! Congratulations!!! Keep us posted... I know you will!
Yay! Great news!
I am thankful every day for my miracle after infertility.
And thrilled to be pregnant again after FET!
Oh...wow!
A huge huge congratulations, T!
Now you'll have to keep us posted in the coming weeks if you will please, since I for one will be on pins and needles.
I've considered 13 to be a lucky number since I was a child, and Friday the 13th to be a lucky day, and I've wanted an office on the non-existent 13th floor, since to me it never made any sense to go into something assuming it was unlucky.
Now...run off and enjoy those pickles. (Love the nurse's excitement!) Another congratulations, Mommy of others!!!

lol. *I* got goosebumps reading my own dang post. I'm still in shock. Good shock. Happy shock. Almost like it's the 1st time! lol. (well, never had a good start like this, I wasn't monitored that close with Ava, it was before all this crap)
I told the nurse I was coming back in 2 days for a repeat beta, and she TOLD ME NO! Says Dr, Sassy said next monday. (then I heard her duck, ha) I said WHAT????????????? Does he KNOW ME?? she laughed and said "those are great numbers, trust in them." shhhaaa, riiiight. lol. I dunno, we'll see. I've got a couple shoots this week to distract me, and let's face it, it is what it is. But can I just flash ahead to u/s please??????
Thanks for all the good wishes. They mean so much to me, and these bab(ies).
Daycare is SO exhausting!

Because we're fancy like that.
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
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
Thankful for every day
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
