Infertility

Beta #1 tomorrow

I'm so nervous.  I don't know how I made it through the 2WW without POAS, but I made it.  I'm trying to stay positive, but I don't feel any different except that my ass is beginning to hurt from all the shots!  I hope and pray my two beans are still in there.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will be it.
