Pregnant after IF

Introduction

Hey there ladies! I'm cautiously moving over here from the IF board and I hope that there's a space for me to fill!

Long story short: Been TTC since March of 2010 (not preventing since March of 2009). Lots of medications/tests/IUIs later, we were told that IVF was the only way to have a biological child. We found a clinic close to home that we liked, they were UBER expensive (and we're 100% OOP) but we found a way to finanace the procedures. I stimmed for 9 days, they retrieved lots of eggs, fertilized them with ICSI (because my eggs have a weird shell not because of MFI) hatched them with AZH and put two (3AA) blasts back in and put 7 blasts back in the freezer.

I had three betas:  #1 @ 15dp5dt = >2000   #2 @ 17dp5dt = 4881  #3 19dp5dt= 8570

I had some scary spotting yesterday but luckily already had an u/s scheduled for today where the doctor said the spotting was nothing to worry about. He found the cervix closed, no blood anywhere and TWO sacs. One measured smaller than the other one, but for now, I'm pregnant with fraternal twins. Both blasts attached!

I'm shocked to finally be here, it doesn't feel real yet (Will it ever?!) I got a TON of love and support from the ladies over at IF and I'm looking forward to the same secure feeling over here.   :0)
