Going to head to PAIF..thank you so much for welcoming me and being amazing.

Hello lovely ladies :) It is time for me to transition over to PAIF...I will be intro-ing there today. It's bittersweet because I am happy that we are finally experiencing good news..but at the same time you all have been very welcoming, supportive, and helpful during times where I had no one else! Today we received beta 4..I was nervous because I was cramping a bit this morning, but beta four came back at 4954 and I will have my first ultrasound on Monday. Of course, IF messes with your brain so still I am so happy but thinking..okay, if I can just see the heartbeat..lol. It's always something. The nurse told me I might be able to see it but it's still early. We'll see. Anyway, thank you so much and I wish you hope, peace, joy and absolutely nothing but amazing news in 2013. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers! I will be checking in occasionally if I am still welcome! I heart you all!!

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?!
