FET complete. Now the waiting game.

Hey everyone! My FET is complete. Both embies thawed out "beautifully" and were transferred today. My first beta will be on December 28, 2012..a few days after Christmas. It's going to be a long two weeks but the fact that I will be so busy with odds and ends for Christmas should make it go by quicker than it normally would. Good luck to all of my fellow snow bunnies and thanks for the well wishes!
Married for 3 years to the love of my life! TTC for over a year. Started seeing RE in April 2012. Lap in July revealed endo covering left ovary and part of my bowels. This will require extensive surgery by a specialist. RE wants us to have babies first because surgery could compromise my ability to carry. Started first round of IVF in August. Ten follies retrieved, eight fertilized, two frosties. IVF #1= C/P *Frozen Embie Transfer scheduled for end of Nov/Dec. Going to transfer 2 frosties if all goes according to plan*
FET # 1 [12/18]: Transferred two "beautiful" embies.
Beta # 1: 126 [BFP!]
Beta # 2: 546
Beta #3: 1618!!
Beta # 4 - 4954!!!!!! Ultrasound 1/18 - Two heartbeats at 121 and 136. Fraternal twins! Um, is this really happening?!
