Pregnant after IF

Intro

Hi all. After 2 years and 2 missed m/c (one with twins), we found a septum, scar tissue from a previous ute surgery, and that I was symptomatic with FVL (and oh did that diagnosis explain so many previous and ongoing health issues). Surgery and Lovenox should have fixed everything, so we proceeded with DE IVF. It was a hard choice, because the genetics on the twins came back normal. However, our RE had compelling arguments about the naturally high risk of m/c at 42 using OE, so we agreed and used the eggs of a 27 year old proven donor.

Living in the only state without IVF capability, we chose a frozen egg program in Seattle. DH and I did our parts separately, and we transfered the 1st of 3 frozen 5-day blasts on 8/30. Betas are looking good, so now it's the horrible 2ww between second beta and first u/s to look for a heart beat. 

I generally try to be happy and positive, but RPL and IF have really messed with my head. I want to be so happy about the high strong betas, but we always have high strong betas. Then everything goes to hell at 6w2or3d. I would really like to not stroke out my baby as soon as their heart takes the first few beats, so come on Lovenox!

I hope you'll let me join you here. I'll bring the apple cider donuts!
