Thank you for your help, and thanks for answering my questions! I
just have a couple more if you don't mind.:) Does it cost 10,000
every time you do the scan? Is it done in test tubes or inside the
body during pregnancy? Last, what is the procedure called? I want to
start during my own research on it as well hehe. I told my boyfriend
about talking to you and he was very excited and full of questions
that I hadnt asked yet. Well, thanks again.:) I hope that you have a
peaceful and fulfilling day!!!
