This gives me such hope! Congratulations!!!

Brooklyn- I think you might have TWINS in there too. That is a high beta for just 9 days post ET!
I am with you Heather! I felt the same way then I saw that and it gave me some hopped, I already felt like my cycle was doomed since I didn’t have any grade A ambries. I also had 2 B's, mine were 7 cell.

Indie-my dh just researched this last week and what he found was that if you pull on the "leaves" in the center of the top of the pineapple and they pull out easy it is ripe. Easy compared to what not really sure?

Addie and Marion - I am so very sorry. I feel so blessed today yet I know so many are learning their cycles failed - it's all so bittersweet. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Skogie, my hubby taught me that about pineapple too - if you can easily pull one of the 'leaves' out then it is ripe. I ate it all - I kind of like the core - but I was eating really ripe pineapples so that may have made a difference.

Heather - twins - do you think? Really? I've been trying to research beta numbers and their correlation with twins and can't find anything that makes sense. Thank goodness we didn't implant 3 like I wanted to. I hadn't really thought about the possibility of twins - I really didn't think even one would stick around for the 9 month ride - to be honest - the idea scares the life out of me. But I will take whatever comes my way with grace and love...I know god will only give me what I can handle.

Good luck tomorrow everyone!

Addie, I'm so sorry to hear your news and like everyone else, I'm thinking of you.

I've done a fair amount of reading about egg quality b/c I have high FSH, which usually means very few good eggs left, and a lot of people report that acupuncture can make a real difference.

Anyway, wishing you some peace and that you're not feeling too alone with DH out of town.
