My husband and I started trying to conceive in October of 2007. We figured it'd be easy since he already has three daughters who were conceived within a month of trying.
Hah.
Three IVFs: (1 missed miscarriage at 8 weeks, 1 ectopic pregnancy miscarried at 5 weeks, 1 spontaneous pregnancy that ended in a missed miscarriage at 5 weeks); and 1 FET (a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks.)
Which equals: lots of drugs injected, lots of money spent, lots of weight gained. But no live babies. Infertility sucks. RPL sucks ass.
So we moved on to using donor eggs, and achieved a healthy, genetically normal pregnancy our first try. After all the drama of the last few years, my pregnancy was essentially uneventful.
Henry was born on September 18, 2010 and he is, without a doubt, the best thing that ever happened to me. This blog is in the process of becoming less of an ongoing infertility journal and more of a mommy/radical homemaker/writer blog. Can't wait to see what's next for us.
WOO HOO! I am happy to see such a solid first beta. Good going, girl! So happy to witness your journey unfold.
Congratulations!
I have been checking all day. Best wishes for a fantastic pregnancy.
Woohoo! Congratulations on a great number.
YAY! Congrats!
Fabulous number!
So happy for your good news:)
Beautiful number! how many dpo? Sounds like one or two is a safe guess…but nice and healthy…and high (so again I predict a little MS, but you’ll survive:-)). Celebrate!
That is a great number! Very strong! Does your clinic do multiple betas or make you wait for ultrasound? I’m so happy for you!
Holy Crap, that is a grate number!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!
So happy for you, I can’t spell.
Great number…=)

I’ve been waiting all day for this wonderful news and I’m not disappointed — WOW, girl! What an awesome beta. I have a good feeling about this, my friend. Keep up the sickening/benevolent attitude — you totally deserve it! CONGRATULATIONS!
Yay! What an awesome solid number. I can’t wait for the rising beta graph to appear. Dancing up and down for you!
Hot Diggity!

Fanfreakingtastic news! I’m so excited for you. And smile away, you deserve it.
Amazing number! No questions about it, you are officially preggers! (just re-watched that episode of Glee – my favorite episode)!
Keep smiling!
Wow! great numbers!! congrats!
Congrats. Great number.
Wowwwwwwwwwwww! That is one HUGE beta for 11dpo!!! I’m right, right? 11dpo?
Wow.
AWESOME!? What is that about it not being super-duper high?? Oh, and even I’m sick of my own cheeriness sometimes….enjoy!
so happy for you…
Excellent beta!!! So damn excited for you!
Whooooooooooohooooooo!
Way to go Susan. That is quite a respectable number. You are on your way.
Um, sprog, that number is freaking BIG. You are what 13dp3dt – that is like 16dpo – just to put it into context, mine was 216 at 13dpo…you do the math!!!!
So, so happy for you – and I CANNOT wait for the ultrasound!!!
Awesome news, Susan!!
Wooooooo hoooooooooooooooooo!!! I couldn’t wait to get home and check this! So excited for you. That is a beautiful beta girl!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Umm, 778 IS super high for 13DP3DT!!! It’s approximately exactly what mine was at 13DP3DT with my twins… By approximation (since I had betas on 12 and 14 DP3DT) mine would have been 711. SUPER AWESOME CONGRATS!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKING HOOOOOOOOOOOO! Great numbers there lady. Looking forward to more good news very very soon.
Yey!
Happy happy happy dance!
Do badass and knitting go together?
Whoa! that is a huge beta!! Congrats!!
So nice and high! Congratulations!
