Pregnant after IF

Cautious Intro

Hello!

My husband I got a BFP with our 4th fresh IVF (5th overall IVF)! Due to my history of a c/p and twin m/c, I was too nervous to post my betas on IFV. I did that with the m/c and it ended terribly. We told very, very few people we were cycling this time.

We still plan on keeping this quiet IRL for several weeks. We won't tell our parents and siblings till about 10 wks, then extended family and friends at 12 wks.

Here's my story: 9 eggs retrieved on 8/22, 7 mature, 7 fertilized with ICSI

8/25 3 day transfer of 3 embies-a 7cell grade1, 8 cell grade 1, and 10 cell grade 3

very faint positive test 6 days after transfer!

Betas (I'm neurotic and requested several)

8dp3dt  54

12dp    274

14dp   625

18dp  2953

22dp  greater than 10,000

We had our 1st ultrasound today at exactly 6 wks and we saw 2 fetal poles with heartbeats!! We are officially due May 14 (but I know average twin gestation is 35 wks). We have a long way to go....but finally feel "pregnant" enough to post something here. 

Thanks if you read this much!
