Waited 3.5 years for this...

I've been waiting 3.5 years to say this on this board--BFP! I secretly started taking pregnancy tests a few days ago. I saw faint lines, but it wasn't until yesterday that I felt brave enough to take a digital and then tell DH. Blood draw was today and I hope my numbers come back good. But it was so nice to see "pregnant" on that test after all of these years of infertility and waiting to start treatment.

    Oh my gosh!  I am so happy for you!  I have been stalking your blog like crazy to see if you had been testing early or not.  Congratulations!  I know you have gone through so much to get here.  I hope your blood work is great.

    TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.

    I figured you have been blog stalking, which is why I wanted to come here and tell you! The blood work showed that my beta is at 55. That's a decent number to indicate pregnancy, but it's not a super strong number either. I go in for more blood work on Monday. Even if the number is low, what they really care about is to see if the number has doubled or not. So I'll report back again on Monday!

    Thanks everyone for the nice thoughts and sticky vibes! Beta #2 was on Monday and was 100. So that's a pretty good number, but again, not out of this world. DH and I decided to go ahead and celebrate last night and bought a book and a pregnancy magazine. 

    Beta #3 is on Wednesday. I'm not feeling very confident today though. The past few days I have "felt" pregnant, but today I feel very NOT pregnant. I just hope I get the results sooner than on Monday (they waited until 4:30 Monday afternoon to call me. I was a stressed mess all day!)

    I'll update again soon!
