Infertility

Finally!!! (bfp mentioned)

I haven't been very active online this time around because I guess I was preparing myself for a 4th BFN.  Since I still have a few pals on here, I just wanted to share that we've received a huge answer to prayer with a BFP!!!!!  Beta #1 was 185 and beta #2 (4 days later) was 1123.  Go back for a third beta tomorrow and ultrasound is September 12th.  I'm in total shock.

So for those of you still struggling with the never ending emotional roller coaster... as I've always said... there's always hope!!!!

PS - I appreciate any prayers for a successful & healthy pregnancy.  ;)

    I wouldn't stress over your beta!  Yours are great!  I know everyone is different.  My RE is having me do three betas though... maybe because this is our first success after so much?  Or maybe she always does three?  If it would make you feel better, there is nothing wrong with asking for one more!
