My #s tripled to 1893 in 48hrs. To give you some perspective, to be on track and "normal", they were aiming to go up by 66% to 1054.... mine went up almost 300%! Great news, healthy baby so far, and very likely for twins!
I have ultrasound this Wed. to make sure everything is in the right place (no tube pregnancy) and see how many are in there!!! Can't wait!

I always thought twins would be cool. Then I had a 2 year old for the day and changed my mind :24:
Congrats though, hope all goes well

Congrats!!!
I'm not sure what kind of work you do, but I remember you saying you have a full time job. Do you explain to your co-workers that you're a surrogate or no??? It just came to mind b/c I was thinking about baby showers and such and sometimes co-workers will throw one at work.

I finally got my first ultrasound yesterday after my high BETAs. I was suppose to have it on Monday, but ran into a bit of a problem with my awful clinic (transfer was out of state, and this clinic was local and a pain in the ass). So, my agency found me a new testing place and I had my first ultrasound yesterday, 6w4d.
IT'S TWINS!!!! I just had a feeling it was! I've felt very heavy inside my belly already, like a brick in sitting in there, and it just felt like more than it should for a 6w singleton. They were in the perfect spot and baby A measured 6w4d, and baby B measured 6w1d. They both already had heartbeats too! It was a blessing in disguise to have to tough out the wait a few extra days, because I probably wouldn't have seen that on Monday. Heartbeat rate was already 150! Everything looked good and healthy. I have 17 more days on shots/hormones, and I can finally start doing everything at my own Dr.'s now! HOORAY!
IPs ofc are BEYOND excited. We were told there was no chance at all of multiples because of our failed transfer, and IMs age, plus some gene or hormone she has? I can't really remember. But there's always a chance when you stick more than one emmbie in there! Not, that we were trying for two, as they only ever went into this hoping for one healthy baby.... but two is such a wonderful surprise that they are amazingly thrilled with.

Oh sorry I missed this! I do HR/Payroll for a medium sized company (150 employees). My co-workers know all about everything. I told them all about it right before the transfer. I had waited that long because of my failed transfer last year, where I learned you can't really "count on" anything to happen (I was at a different job at this time). SO I waited until the wheels were already moving before sharing the news. They all think it's very cool, sweet, weird
Our receptionist has never had kids due to her own infertility, so she is very interested in every step of the way. I think one thinks I'm just doing it for the money, but whatever that's her prerogative and I don't let it bother me. Overall, they've been very supportive and very interested in all my updates... I'm lucky to work with such a good group of girls.

Thank you! Me too, I'm so unsure what to expect with a multi pregnancy, but since it's so common with IVF there are many surros on my surro forum who have/had them and they have some great advice. I'm just glad it's not trips! I think I can handle twins and hopefully everything will go as smoothly as possible.
