First I apologize to those that have sent me PM's and FB messages asking how my IUI went.  I've been ignoring you...but I have a good reason. :)  I also didn't think that I would ever make a post like this as early as this but I know I've shared so much with you all along the way that I can share this with you now.  I'm pregnant. :)  

In the midst of all that was going on with my dad while he was in the hospital, we also had to do the back to back IUI's at the same time.  I was beyond stressed and worried the whole two weeks and figured that it wouldn't work because of that.  But...this past Sunday, at 14 DPO, I took two tests at home and got these...

I took the tests at home before my beta draw the next day because if it was negative, I didn't want to get the news sitting at my desk at work.  But it wasn't negative!  I had my first beta on Monday and it came back around 314.  I had my second one today and it came back at 733.  So it's doubling right on schedule.  I have my third draw on Friday and then my first u/s next week!  So early!!  

I can't even begin to describe what I'm feeling right now.  Elation, excitement, fear....you name it, I'm feeling it.  If we're friends on FB, PLEASE don't say anything.  We only just told my parents last night and we are telling DH's parents in 3 weeks when we fly out to NC to visit them.  And then we'll tell friends slowly after that.  

So that's my news...sorry for ignoring some of you but I really wanted to get that second beta back and also to be able to tell my parents before telling anyone else.  I'm nervous to post this here so early because I always said I wouldn't do it until much later...but I love you girls so I wanted you to know. :)

I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am for you, sweetie!! :)  Amazing news!!!  Congrats to you and your hubby, I'm glad something finally worked for you guys!!!  I get excited whenever I see a BFP, but even more so when it's a girl from this group!!

Congratulations! I always love seeing the BFP posts, but even more so when it's someone who's been trying long and hard. Maybe it's because I relate (we're just over 10 weeks along after an IUI)...?
