Hi ladies! I am coming over from IFV and IF. After 2 years and finally going the DE route, I am officially KTFU??. We transferred 2 perfect 5 day blasts on June 28th. This puts me at 4.5 weeks. Beta #1 was 2500 and Beta #2 today was 6131. I spent the day yesterday terrified of a molar pregnancy, but my nurse said that my numbers are not behaving in that manner. She said they are behaving appriopriately for multiples, but that she has seen higher numbers with a singleton! So, I pray I am around her for the next 36 weeks ?? I am so happy to be here. I feel like I have been living in a dark hole for 2 years and I can finally see the light. ETA- My first u/s is July 24th! Come on July 24th!
