__________________
IVF #1 Nov 07, transferred 2 blasts,
Sadly MC @ 5 wks, 3 days
7 weeks of waiting for beta to drop to zero

Started meds March 08 for FET

Lining not co-operating, postponed FET twice waiting for lining to thicken.
Lining never reached more than 7mm. Dr adviced cancelling cycle. Decided against that.

FET 4/18 of 4 blasts, 2 already hatching

on 2 hpts 4/23 (5dp6dt) Continue to test positive, lines are getting darker

1st beta 4/27 is 200! Praise God
2nd beta 4/29 is 455! Fabulous!
Scared by brief brown spotting at 5 weeks. U/S reveals 1 gest sac with yolk and pole!

HB 115 at 6 weeks

US show strong HB and little arms and legs at 8 weeks
