Pregnant after IF

Nervous intro

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!
