Beta 2!

My first time (out of 3) to ever have a doubling beta!!  From 265 Monday to 570 today!  Now the endless wait until next week.  I'm hanging around here for a bit ;)

 ETA: So excited I made a typo - it's 570 today, not 670! Still doubling though! 

Me: 33, DH: 32, Started TTC #1 since November '11
Saw RE April 2012 due to irregular cycles, Dx'd PCOS (normal weight)
Clomid 50mg, 100mg, then Femara 7.5, no response after 7 cycles
Testing = normal CD3 bw, normal HSG, v high antral follicle count; good DH SA
IUI #1 on 7/11/12 but poor monitoring and found out after that I never ovulated
New RE; Begin IVF September '12: Lupron, Gonal-F, Ovidrel trigger
14 days of stims, ER 9/30/12 (17 eggs, 12 fert)
ET 10/5/12, single blast transfer, 6 frozen
Home Digi 10/13 (8dp5dt): BFP! Beta 1: 11, Beta 2: 10 = chemical preg :(
FET #1 single embryo transfer: 11/10/12
5dp5dt:BFP! Beta 1- 122; Beta 2- 160; Beta 3- 202; Beta 4- 276
Poor prognosis, U/S inconclusive, 11/27 stopped all meds
12/12/12 - hcg mid 40s, MTX shots; 12/24/12 - hcg same, 2nd MTX shots;
1/23/13, hcg finally at zero. Blood work shows abnormal NK cell activity, but holding off on treatment this cycle
FET #2: 2/9/13, Beta #1, 2/18/13: 265!!, Beta #2, 2/20/13: 570!!, Beta #3 2/22/13: 1445!! Saw gestational sac and yolk sac on US 2/26/13
