Infertility

Beta #1...

is a freaking 23.

This explains why the FRER turned positive and the digital test wouldn't.  Go back in on Saturday for bloodwork.  It's not looking hopeful and I am just so disappointed.  If anyone has heard of success stories, I could use the motivation today.

Hope everyone else's number looks amazing.....
