And today I finally got my BFP! 
We ended up having male factor infertility this time around. Didn't have this issue when I got pg with my girls. Was put on Femara, and went through two IUI's. IUI #2 was successful.
I first tested with an Equate brand test, and couldn't believe it was I still had my cup of FMU, so I also tested with a FRER and a Clearblue digital with weeks estimator. All positive! The weeks estimator said 2-3 weeks at 12 dpiui (dpo), instead of 1-2 like I expected. I'm kind of hoping this is caused by twins giving me increased hcg. At my follie scan, I had a 16 mm and a 12 mm follie. The nurse at my IUI said the 12 mm could very well have caught up and produced an egg too, but you never know. Anyone else ever get 2-3 weeks on this test at 12 dpo?
Update Oct 7th:
Beta #1 at 14 dpiui: 418 I go in tomorrow for beta #2.
DD #3's first beta at 13 dpo: 225, and it doubled every 30 hours. At the 6 week u/s, we found out she had a twin that was in the process of vanishing. So, she started out as a twin.
Update Oct 9th:
Well, I don't think it's going to be twins anymore. I'm just grateful for the one, what seems to be so far healthy baby that is in there. Yesterday's beta was 990 at 16 dpo. The first one two days before that was 418. That's a doubling time of only 38 hours. DD #3 doubled every 30 hours, and she DID have a twin that didn't make it. I'm thinking this one must have just implanted on the early side, so my hcg was a lil higher by 14 dpo. Would have been nice to have finished our family in just one more pregnancy. I want this one to have a sibling close in age, and not just the girls that are 7+ years apart. So, I guess it'll be back to TTC again someday after this one is born. At least next time I'll know to go straight for the IUI!

Had my first u/s! There were two in there, so it IS twins!
