Cautious BFP... :) *......second beta update*

Hi Everyone, I'm a long-time lurker and infrequent poster that most of you probably don't remember. My wife and I did an in-office IUI back in November (I'm carrying our first) which was a BFN. We ended up benched for various reasons between December and April. When CD1 came around in May, we decided that we would skip all the monitoring and poking and prodding that comes with the RE and just try at home so that we could have a less "clinical" experience. Turns out that we had better timing than our RE because we got our first super faint BFP on a FRER at about 9dpo. After several more tests over the next few days confirming, we got a beta done at 15dpo and it came back at 164! We are getting a second beta tomorrow (22dpo) to confirm doubling (we've been out of town since the first result came back so we had to wait until we came back from our trip for the repeat). We are cautious but excited, and hopeful that things will continue to progress normally. I'm hoping to jump in on the pregnancy chat after the second beta results!!


UPDATE - second beta on 6/6 = 4794!!!

IUI #1 - November 2013 - BFN
ICI #1 (home) - May 2014 - BFP!! Beta #1 - 5/30 - 164; Beta #2 - 6/6 - 4794!!!
