I ended up having several more betas done. Here's a recap of all of them:
10 DPO - 89
13 DPO - 331
17 DPO - 2804
20 DPO - 9011
25 DPO - 28196
To compare, the twins were 54 at 10dpo, 139 at 12dpo, and 1392 at 18dpo. Second journey which started as twins was 260 at 14dpo, 594 at 17dpo, and 11420 at 25dpo.
So of course, my thoughts of it being multiples only increased as more numbers came in. I was anxious for an ultrasound so when radiology said the could schedule me for the 20th, I practically begged for anything sooner, no matter what time. I got my wish...July 9th at 0330.
Yes, you read that right. That's 3:30 AM! I didn't care, I took it!
My good friend, Ashley, said she wanted to come with me, especially because if it was multiples, I shouldn't find out alone. lol
Ready to see what the verdict is.........?

That's right folks! Completely natural, home insems (essentially the exact same method of conception as if we had actually had intercourse - except we didn't and I used an Instead Cup to place the semen inside) and we STILL ended up with twins!!
I am 100% utterly and completely shocked.
Even with the high numbers and Ashley and I joking about my "clown car" uterus this whole time, there was always a part of me that was like, no...I'm just getting super high betas...there's really only one in there...it's just a SMALL chance that could ACTUALLY happen...
Hahahahaha, my ass.
This was how I told John:

John is beside himself. In fact, his exact words were, "Are you fucking kidding me!?" In a totally good way, of course, but that was the first time I'd heard him say fuck. lol He is also cautiously optimistic and asking lots of questions about my last journey, since he knows that it started as twins and we lost one. I told him that of course, the only sure way to know is to keep an eye on them and see what happens but that also, we have MUCH higher hcg levels this time (which could possibly signify stronger fetuses) and I've been feeling it much more this time too. I'm extremely exhausted and have moments of nausea/food aversions. Last time, I swore there was only one in there because of how great I felt. This time, I just knew there was more....even if I did try to talk myself out of it until I had photographic proof.
