Hi everyone! Wow, this is so strange… I haven’t posted on MDC outside the Spirituality forums for a couple of years, ever since my last loss. I used to be a regular on the TTC and Infertility threads.

In the past 4 months, so much has changed in my life, and in January, I started on the path to becoming a single mom by choice. I did the same fertility treatment protocols I’ve done in the past, and now I’m pregnant with twins! I just found out yesterday, and boy, it’s awesome and a lot to swallow.

I’m going to be moving from PA to Portland, Oregon in May, to be close to my biggest community of friends and continue to build a life by following my bliss!

I’ve had 3 first trimester losses in the past (an ectopic and 2 m/cs), but this time things look excellent. The embies are measuring ahead of schedule and I got to see their beautiful, miraculous heartbeats yesterday. I'm 6 weeks today and feeling completely optimistic about this pregnancy.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you all, and to learning from you, since I gather many of you are already mamas to several kids! WOW!

Congratulations and welcome, mama . !
We used fertility drugs also and I had a very high first HCG, so I am hoping to join you on the twin wagon!

twospecialpumpkins, what was your beta & at what dpo? I'm so excited for you! mine was 273 at 13dpo! yikes! my first ultrasound a 5 weeks showed only one sac, but Thursday, at 6 weeks, we saw two perfect sacs, both with hearts beating. OMG, it was amazing. I'm comforted that there's another mama with me that did fertility treatment.

Congrats on the twins! They truly are amazing and you're in for one hell of a ride. We don't know if this is twins yet and I must say I'm a little jealous that you know already. But since I'm quite sure I will know based on movement and measurements, I won't be having an ultrasound so I won't know for sure until around the end of April or beginning of May. I'm excited to find out though...maybe I'll be joining you in the twin boat (although spontaneously).

And yay for my 100th post!!! Now I can make a cool siggy.
