Good morning everyone. Good luck to everyone waiting for their stimming, transfers, and beta results! Extra congratulations to the several women who got great news yesterday of high betas and even more exciting, good second betas!

I was an emotional wreck.

Sending lots of baby dust to all of you 💕
