I can't even believe I'm posting this but we just found out today that after 5 IUIs and 5 rounds of IVF we are finally pregnant. I broke down and POAS this morning to see the second positive test of my life (my first was with my beautiful DD after our 2nd IUI the first time around).

I called my RE and they let me go in a day early for my Beta this morning. It came back at 447 and they went ahead and scheduled my first ultrasound for December 5th. They said no repeat betas were needed.
To all of my 2IF ladies I'm sorry I didn't really even post about this cycle. It was our last shot and after close to two years of IF treatments I just decided I needed a bump break and just really tried to not get my hopes up.
Anyway I hope you ladies will have me. I look forward to joining you and hope to be around for the long haul. Thanks KL!
