Good luck Lhcooper!! I read on the DE check in that you're not feeling too postive. I want you to be so wrong on this one though. Have it written on my calendar to remember to wish you luck tomorrow morning-but guess others beat me to the punch. Know that all of us are thinking of you!

Thanks everyone, that's very sweet! I haven't POAS (each time I think about it, I think that then I won't want to keep up the shots), but yeah, I really don't feel very hopeful. No symptoms, etc. Beta is tomorrow mid-morning; I'll POAS afterwards, but before the call, so I'm ready. Then we'll go get a Christmas tree and hopefully that will cheer me up a little.
