Steph - I'm so glad your numbers are still doubling! You've got some fighter embies in there
 I know the shots and the blood draws do hurt, but that's only temporary, and well worth it to get to the end result. Good luck today!Stillwaiting - I'm really hoping and praying that ttc the old fashioned way works for you!  We'll actually be in Chicago for a wedding the last weekend of August. Not a huge chunk of time off, but I guess I'll take what I can get.AFM - Really not much new with me. I went to the beach for the 1st time this summer  ! It was gorgeous. Wish I were still there...

Guess what!?!?!? My beta tripled from Friday...it went from 287 to 893! I checked on the Beta calculator and the doubling time was 1.87 days. I was a little worried because it was more than two days, but it looks good. Whoever shared the Beta calculator website - thanks!!

Beta now...
Guess what?!?!?!
My beta tripled from Friday...it went from 287 to 893! I was a little worried because it was more than 48 hrs, so I checked the website with the Beta calculator and it said the doubling time was 1.87 days, so that's good, right?! Whoever supplied that website - thanks! Now I feel I can put a in my siggy.KMP - thanks and I do think you are right...these embies are some fighters...or emby! The blood draws are worth it - except my really good vein they usually get from blew out this morning! Bummer! I am a hard draw - tiny veins that move! Totally worth it though! Stillwaiting - Thanks a lot! It sounds like you have been very busy. What a lot of fun to play with little ones though! Patilla - Thank you....I do have support here, some real close friends that know about this. None of my family live close by, but my friends are my family! Some days are hard though with hubby gone, but we do what we have to do and make the best of it! AFM - my ultrasound is Friday (with Lucy) and I can't wait! I am not going to worry and just bask in the happiness that I am pregnant now and enjoy every minute of the nausea and fatigue that is starting to show up! I am on cloud nine and can't wait for hubby to call! Have a great day everyone!

For a great number, Steph!! I miss all the activity on this thread... it's a daily habit to check on it now... and I haven't been able to jump into the Yahoo Group just yet.  Best of luck to everyone with u/s... I know we have a BUNCH tomorrow. Good strong gest sacs, yolk sacs, fetal poles, and possibly heartbeats for all! How exciting!

Ultrasound update
So after all the panic attacks i had this morning imagining all sorts of horrible things, we got to the Doctors at 12pm and waited for over 20mins to see him which even added to my anxiety.
Our U/S technician turned the monitor so i could see what she was doing and we saw TWO sacs measuring below 5 as required and we heard two heartbeats at 114bmp and 116bpm...both are measuring 6 weeks and 1 day We were in total disbelief that we are having twins and i bawled my eyes out...DH shed his tears too and we completely forgot about the tech and begun having our private moment. You guys have no idea how excited i was especially after dreaming that they wouldnt find a heart beat. We celebrated by going out for lunch then hubby had to go back to work. My RE did find a small pouch of water in my uterus so he said its nothing to be alarmed about but i'm back on gatorade or smart water cause he says it could lead to OHSS. My ovaries are also hugh due to all the pregnancy hormones being released. My second ultrasound is next week on Wednesday Good luck to all of you ladies

Looks like this thread is winding down...
But for anyone still checking, I just wanted to post that I am having TWINS!!! Had my u/s this morning, and actually saw one heartbeat already...so they think maybe one implanted a little later...and since I am exactly 6 weeks today, they weren't really expecting to see a heartbeat at all, so that was a little bonus!!Hope you all are doing well!!
