Thank you! Just got an email from Megsc reprimanding me for being a Debbie Downer and putting the cart before the horse. Will not continue - will think positive until given proof not to.

Arrrrgggghhhhh - just had to get that one last one out!!

Don't worry AM. I had a beta of 166,000. As WEIRD as that sounds....Alex was VERY healthy, grew properly and it didn't raise any concern to my docs at all. Especially when we checked him through u/s. DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE...or we will ALL have to drive to where you are and open a can of whoop on you!!

Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way AM.

Although I must say I have never been so happy to hear about someone else's boob pain!!! My RE stopped telling me numbers after 2000 as well knowing I would obsess over it. Can't wait for you to report back with good news.
