Pregnant after IF

Never Thought I'd Get Here

Afternoon ladies,
I got my first positive beta today at 11dp6dt.... It was 606. We had three failed IUIs and two failed fresh IVF cycles; this was our first FET. We transferred two hatching blasts. I was numb when I found out and didn't even think to ask the nurse if this was where the beta needed to be at this point? I go back Monday for beta #2 and Thursday for beta #3.
Anyway, I think this is the right board for this question?
I was over at the IF board until after our last fresh cycle. At that point our RE had us do dr. Klimans EFT test at Yale before we transferred our 2 frozen embies. We also had a phone consult with Dr. Schoolcraft at CCRM, which went really well. Fortunately, it looks like we may not need him.
I started a new job that blocks the bump so I've been MIA for a few months but am looking forward to involved again!

I asked for u/s and other tests to see why we weren't getting pregnant, doc just kept giving me meds and telling me to go to his church for a "laying of hands") Stopped all monitoring/testing/temps, etc, Sex became a chore and we started to grow apart. At 12 mos I decided to look for another doc. 02/2013 consult with new doc....3 days later testing began...u/s, all good, HSG: all good, labs: all good, ovulating, etc. Started on Pregnitude. 04/2013 failed attempt for SA, 05/2013 failed attempt SA. 12/2013 SA: 3% morph, abnormal functionality.
