Intro for IComLeavWe visitors

I don't know if I'll get any visitors today but I thought I'd provide a brief intro and summary of my journey.

My husband and I married in October of 2008 after having known each other since 2001 and dated since around 2005. I stopped BCP right after the wedding and we were officially TTC. I knew it might take a while because of the BCP but little did I know I have PCOS. About a year after starting TTC I was diagnosed and started seeing an RE (in November 2009). Since then, we've had 4 failed IUIs - 2 with Clomid and 2 with injectables (the last of which ended in a c/p). After the 4th attempt and failure, we decided to move on to IVF. All IUI/IVF cycles have been documented in this blog.

My egg retrieval was on 4/19. They retrieved 23 eggs, 11 fertilized and a total of 5 were healthy enough to transfer 2 on 4/22 and freeze the remaining 3.

On 5/2/10 I took about 5 HPTs, all positive! I finally had my BFP! The next day we went in to have my beta hCG drawn. Beta #1 was 219, Beta #2 was 488, and beta #3 a week later was 6,876! I had an ultrasound 2 days ago and saw our baby for the first time...we also saw the heartbeat!! The RE says everything is looking great and we're cautiously optimistic. I'll have my next ultrasound next week on Wednesday and I think the RE will release me to my OB soon after.
