Infertility

first beta - good news

I haven't posted/commented here very long but have been around lately and wanted to share my news. My beta today for my 1st FET was positive! My dr. just left a message without saying the exact number (argh) but he did say it was nice and strong. I'll definitely still be with this board for the time being since I have more hurdles ahead before I feel confident about this one. Thank you all so much for your support thus far. Knowing this community was here has been a blessing these past few months.
