Infertility

tomorrow is THE DAY!

I have been patient and tomorrow is our beta for this round of IVF.  Going "beta or bust" has still been the right choice.  I am thinking happy, positive thoughts and will wait to listen to the voicemail from my cell phone with my husband when I get home from work.  (My work has no cell phone service so I have to wait till 4 anyway.  I will need to just hope for no traffic through the capital city and get home.  My DH and I couldn't be happier to come to this day!

If you have a minute to spare a prayer or two for good news....we'd appreciate it.  

I'll let you all know as soon as I can tomorrow!
