Another Beta Post...

My beta at 9dp5dt is 50. The nurse said they like to see anything over 35 at this point and that 50 is fine. Though something higher would have made me a little more relaxed, I am okay with it. Definitely still anxious for my second draw on Monday to ensure it is doubling. 

Congrats to my other 12/20 beta bunnies! I hope we all spend the next 9 months getting to know each other better. :) 

TTC#1 since 1/2011
