Hi Ladies,

I've been on the LTTTC thread for the past month, and am another one who just today found out that I've gotten my BFP on my first round of IVF! I can totally feel the guilt some of you were mentioning (sorry -- I just read through the whole thread so I'd be up-to-date) because I felt pretty bad giving my news in the LTTTC threads after not being on them for so long (although we'd been trying naturally for the past 6 years so it's not like I'm *that* lucky).

Anyway, first just wanted to say "hi" to those of you I recognize from the other threads (Glenny, Brunette, CK77, Renee) and to those of you I'm "meeting" for the first time. I hope you don't mind my joining your group.

Secondly, I know literally nothing about pregnancy since, after so many years of disappointment, I've made a policy not to read any pregnancy books until actually expecting. (I guess it's time to finally go out and buy "What to Expect When You're Expecting"!) So can any of you please let me know how my beta level (260 at 16 dpo) stacks up? The nurse said it was good, but I'd love some reassurance. I have a follow-up BT in a week then my 1st scan in 2 weeks. I can't wait -- it will really be good to see a heartbeat and make this more real.

Thanks!
