I apologize for not posting after my Beta. I have not had time to touch my computer until now. My first Beta was far Bove my expectation...1,343! I had to have the nurse repeat it twice. I was praying for something in the 100's which would be much higher than what I had when I miscarried. I'm excited and nervous. My 2nd Beta and Ultrasound is on Tuesday.
Thanks for all of your support. You ladies are the best!
Blessings
