Congrats I am so glad that things turned out okay for you. Sometimes in the beginning it doesn't always seem to go how we know it should go (mine were more that quadrupaling and I thought for sure twins) but low and behold only one fast growing bean!
Good news!!! Just went in today and my HCG more than doubled!!! My OB said that because the levels were taken so early that they wouldn't double as quickly. I couldn't be happier!!! She thinks I'm about 6 weeks and I'll feel better after the ultrasound on the 22nd but yay!!!!
I was told after getting fertility treatment with my DD that I would not be able to get pregnant on my own.. while on the birth control patch - had sex once with my hubby in one month - found out 8 weeks later I was pregnant.. IT CAN HAPPEN!!! Have faith - think positive... there are slow growers..Good Luck
