I was trying to decide if I should post or not and if so, where or when. My last IUI actually worked!!! I couldn't even believe it - I am still in shock. I was having no symptoms at all, so I really thought I was out. I tested on Tuesday - 9dpiui - and there was a faint line, but I figured it was still from the trigger (it was still there at that point last month and then went to nothing). Then I tested again Thursday on 11dpiui and the line popped up. It was much darker than Tuesdays line and I was blown away. Like I said I have really had zero symptoms - except things that could be explained by the PIO.
I was able to get a beta yesterday, but I had to go to stupid Quest (I hate getting b/w there - the one by my work is sooo slow). It took forever to get my results - I was worried my RE was going to close for the day. But, after calling them and calling quest and calling them back I got the results.
:::drum roll:: 164
I screamed when she told me. She laughed and said that was her reaction too. I do love the staff at my RE's office, they are all so sweet. I asked her over and over if she was sure and she said she was.
I go back tomorrow (Sunday) for my 2nd beta, but they don't run HCG on the weekends. So unless they take pity on me - they won't run it until Monday.
My mind is just all over the place. I was so excited last night, but the worries and doubts creep in. I haven't even tested again because I am so, so scared that the line will get lighter like all the other times (except the once, but that was still a m/c). I am trying to be positive though. And my beta is higher than any other one I have ever gotten. My highest was the pregnancy that lasted for 8 weeks and that was 83. My other started at 40, 31, 17 and the last one was 7. Then they all dropped.
I already had my phone consult with SIRM this week and I have one set up with CCRM in March. I really, really thought we were going to be doing IVF again. I just pray this sticks and we don't have to.
Anyway, I didn't want to put anything in my siggy yet, but I did update on FF. You are so sweet that you were stalking me!! That sounds wrong, but you know what I mean - lol.

OMG!!! So excited for you. Your beta was 164 12dpo?!?! That's fantastic!! I am do happy for you. I can't wait to hear your number on Monday. My RE's office didn't run betas on the weekends or holidays so I had one 10dpo and then had to wait to 15dpo. But I have a really good feeling about this one!

I know it's so crazy! I can't believe that is was so high. I am hoping that is a good sign for viability of the pregnancy. I mean, I know so much can still happen, but for even getting past a second beta. I seriously asked her so many times if it was right. She just kept laughing at me and saying yes. I started my lovenox injections already too. Of course, I am second guessing myself for everything. I am just praying so hard that this is my miracle!!

I had never gotten a good 2nd beta before this time. My first was 23 or 24 and the nurse at the RE was like well, it's kinda low. I said but it's only 10 dpo, she's like oh well, then that MAY be ok.
I am sorry you have to do the Lovenox, I hate those shots. BUT I love the reason you're doing it. And don't second guess a thing. Again, when I got a BFP with this pregnancy, I had been so convinced it I was going to get AF that I stopped the progesterone and was drinking a glass of wine at night. I wanted to be ready for our IVF cycle the next month. Then I took a test just because I was in a wedding at a winery and wasn't sleeping quite right. I also had no real symptoms, well until like the 2nd tri, unless you count me needing naps and to eat all of the time, but that's me normally. Again so excited for you. Just try to keep taking deep breaths this weekend and chill out.
