Pregnant after IF

Intro - hi yall!!!

hey everyone!! So excited to venture onto this board.  DH and I have been trying for #1 for around 4 1/2 years and finally got our 1st BFP last Tuesday. 

We have done 4 IUI's with our RE over the last couple of years and did our last one back in August. We were told IVF would be our only option.  We have been taking some time off to get healthier and save money. Fast forward to last week, I thought I had started my period on day 28 like usual on Saturday but just spotted for an hour or so. Finally on Tuesday I felt nauseous getting ready for the gym and my boobs were hurting.  After my workout I decided I should take a test because some medicine I am on you cannot take if you're pregnant.  Took the test, got in the shower,and was shocked to see YES when I got out!!!

did betas that day, they were 275. Last Thursday they were 598, and yesterday 2978!!!!!! 

We have our first u/s next Tuesday!!!
