I went for my first beta test today and it came back in the 900's!!! I'm BEYOND excited! The hubby and I have been in such a whirlwind of emotions today! Wednesday we go back for our 2nd beta test. The nurse did say that my beta being in the 900's though is a great sign for a healthy baby! (or 2) not sure yet.
I also finally took a home pregnancy test just to see it with my own eyes and I got the positive sign
Thanks for all the kind thoughts a prayers. Definitely keep them coming! Still need beta 2 and the ultrasound to be good.

I don't know my only BFP turned out to be a CP and my beta was very low. I have heard that a high number dosent always indicate multiples...but 900, if it were me I might start to prepare myself that there could be more than 1 bean in there!!

Ya, from what I've heard there have been people with higher levels that have only had one. So my biggest priority obviously is however many that they're healthy, but of course anymore than 2 would scare me! We'll find out soon enough...
