I told myself that I was going to wait until after my second beta to intro here, but I'm hoping the more I type this the more it will seem real.
After 18 months of TTC we got a BFP this morning, just two weeks before our EDD of our first BFP which was a chemical/loss at 5 weeks. I just got back from the first beta and I should have the results later today.
This cycle was supposed to be an IUI but it was cancelled after I had 4 mature follicles and two that were measuring at 14 at the midcycle two days before I ovulated. I wasn't holding out much hope for this cycle, I had fully prepared myself for an IUI later this month or early June. Our EDD is Jan 10 according to my last period and Jan 12 according to ovulation date. With as many follicles I had multiples is a real possibility and I'm hoping no more than two babies are snuggled in and growing. No matter what we will handle what God throws at us and I'm praying this is our take home baby/babies.
A little more about me when I'm not TTC. I work full time from home as a corporate meeting planner, we live in central Ohio and I love hockey and Ohio State football. I love to read and craft when the inspiration strikes. My husband has turned me into a Marvel fangirl and I'm really excited about Captain America: Civil War! We will be going to see it on Friday with some friends. I'm the aunt to three kids (two of them are twins) and I baby sit all the time. I know baby sitting isn't the same as parenting, but as least if we end up with multiples I will know a little about what to expect and I will have someone close to lean on for advice and help. My sister lives about 15 minutes from us which is awesome.
I've been lurking here since the board was created and I'm happy to join you all and I hope I (all of us) get to stay!

**Beta #1 Update**
The RE's office called this morning with my results from yesterday's beta and it was at 58 at 14DPO. I had tested at 12DPO and got a negative, so I think it is pretty safe to assume the HCG doubled from Tuesday to yesterday since I'm pretty sure the Dollar Tree tests are sensitive to 25 units. I go back in tomorrow morning at 9:30 for a repeat Beta and a progesterone check as a precaution.
**Beta #2 Update**
Today's beta came back at 152 (more than doubled) and my progesterone was 73! He wants me to come in on Monday morning for a 3rd beta to make sure everything is on track and I'm 100% okay with that. I'm really hoping that this means I get to stay here!
