cautious but excited

So I can't beieve it, but IVF worked. I am about 4 w 6d now and have my first ultrasound on tuesday. The first step was the hardest. After POAS each day since 5dp5dt i started getting really faint lines. My first beta was at 9dp5dt and it was 326. My second beta was on 11dp5dt and was 681! So far so good.

Now I really hope everything looks ok on tuesday. I have been nauseous every day. my boobs are sore--mostly at night. And I am so exhausted.

I really want to start working out again, but I am nervous. the RE told me to not get my heart rate up until there was a confirmed pregnancy so I guess it is time to stop being lazy!! I am not going to go nuts though. Probably just more walking.
