    WindyCity33:
    1.  What's your favorite song on your iPod? I'm ashamed to admit this, but Justin Biebers "As Long as You Love Me"
    2. What's your favorite season and why? Fall, I love everything about it, the leaves changing, the sent, just everything.
    3. If you could go back and redo any age which would it e and why? 17, I did a lot of dumb crap. I got caught at a party a week before I turned 18 and was grounded for my birthday.

      1.  What's your favorite song on your iPod?  I don't own one either!
      2. What's your favorite season and why? Fall. Something easygoing about fall, seems less rushed, less stressful, and beautiful

        1. Right now it's Your Bones by Of Monsters and Men.

        2. Fall...the weather, the food, and my fall decor is my favorite seasonal decor.

        3. I would redo every age from about 18 and under. I help teach a Sunday School class and we have a little girl that reminds me of myself as a child. She's introverted and very sensitive to what others may think about her. I want to tell her that it's ok to be a child and not worry about what people think of her; to be confident in who she is. I wish I'd been more childish and carefree and not worried so much about what people thought of me.

        1. I don't really listen to my iPod, but my favorite song right now I think is called Home by Phillip Phillips. 

        2.  Summer! Going to the beach, camping, bbq's in the backyard, DH and I spend a lot of time outside all summer, even if its just sitting on the back portch talking :)

        3.  Mmmmm, maybe my college and post college years. I wasted a lot of time accomplishing nothing, but my path lead me to DH and I would have never met him had anything been different so I guess everything happens for a reason :)

        1. I really only listen to my ipod when I work out and let me tell you, it's been awhile.  Maybe "Feel so close" by Calvin Harris.

        2. Winter.  I love Christmas.  Don't really care for the cold but at least it doesn't snow in Florida.  I also like fantasy football and we are getting close to the Superbowl.

        3. Probably mid-20's.  partied a little too much

        Married June 2011
        Dx: anovulatory due to prolactinoma (1.5cmx 1.5cm in 2006)
        April 2012: MRI- questionable cyst 8mg by 12mm in pituitary
        referred to RE by Ob-gyn after amenorrhea x 4+ months, provera ineffective, low estrogen level
        cycle 1: May 2012, clomid 50mg; cycle cancelled, thin lining, no response
        cycle 2: June 2012, femara 5mg; cycle cancelled, no response
        cycle 3: July 2012, femara 7.5mg; cycle cancelled (largest folli on Cd12 & cd 16: 11, lining 4)

        Aug. 8: met with RE, move to injectables if HSG and SA normal
        Aug. 23: HSG all clear; DH- perfect
        Switched to a new RE in early Sept. IVF here we come
        Genetic testing reveals: Fragile X- Intermediate risk/grey zone.
        IVF#1: ER 11/30: 14 retrieved, 10 mature, 7 fertilized. E2 prior to trigger 5200. Decision made to freeze 6 embryos and transfer later due to OHSS.

         What's your favorite song on your iPod? Fix You - Coldplay (buuut I'm a dork and I also like the Glee cover)

        What's your favorite season and why? Fall, Summer, Spring, anything but this stupid winter.  It's so cold here in MN and I know its only going to get worse!  I miss the days of going out without having to bundle up.. I feel like I go to work everyday looking blah because our office is so chilly and I have to stay halfway bundled all day.

        If you could go back and redo any age which would it be and why? I think I'm pretty happy where I am at right now. :)

           1. I've been really into Florence and the Machine lately, so probably Spectrum. It just makes me happy and wish I could sing like her! That girl can SING!

          2. Fall, I wish it was longer. I love the changing leaves, the comfortable temperatures, etc.

          3. I think I'd redo some of my college years. DH and I were dating long distance and it really sucked (we did it for 4 years), so I wish I would have tried to make the best of it instead of dwelling on the fact we only saw each other every 8 weeks.

          What's your favorite song on your iPod? "Back in Time" by Pitbull.  It reminds me of summer and pumping that song while biking--it has a great cadence for pedaling.

          What's your favorite season and why?  SUMMER!  Flip flops, biking, outdoor concerts, baseball games, pool parties, going to the beach, cooking out w/friends...love.it.all.

          If you could go back and redo any age which would it be and why? 17/18--I would've chosen a different college (a football college!) and maybe I wouldn't have transferred around so much.

              2. Fall---not too hot not too cold plus I loooooove Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and the colors brown and orange, and wearing my CUUUUUUUUTE boots!!!

              3. I'd say 18. I was a dope when I went to college and just skirted my way through. Its no wonder I actually graduated from a state school in good standing in 4 years. Myabe a little more effort and I wouldn't be so confused on what to do with my life career wise at 31?? LOL

              1. Right now I am loving Taylor Swift's new album, Red.

              2. Hands down, Spring.  I love Spring clothes, all the plants blooming, gardening, perfect weather, longer days, etc.

              3. I would go back to 18, ignore my parents, and start the career path to becoming a veterinarian.  My parents convinced me to study business and now I teach 8th grade Science, so obviously that didn't work out.  However, if I had done that I wouldn't have met DH.

              1.  What's your favorite song on your iPod?  Taylor Swift's Red Album or Break Dawn Part 2 Soundtrack
              2. What's your favorite season and why?  Fall - Football, Oktoberfest beers, hiking and spending time outside again because the 100+ degree temps are finally gone.
              3. If you could go back and redo any age which would it e and why?  I would redo 24 because that's when I married DH.  I would start TTC right then instead of waiting 2 years after we were married.  If we did that, maybe we would have had a child by now.
              Happily married Since May 2008. TTC#1 Since May 2010.

              1.  What's your favorite song on your iPod?  I don't have an iPod.  I don't have any downloaded music on my iPhone or iPad either.  I like Pandora.
              2. What's your favorite season and why?  I like fall.  Fall brings a break from the heat of summer, new cozy clothes, comfort food, and it marks the beginning of the holiday season!
              3. If you could go back and redo any age which would it be and why?  I am not sure if I would want to redo any age.  Everything that I have gone through has made me who I am.  Every decision I have made has brought me where I am today.  I like who I am and where I am.  Not always the "right" decisions per everyone else's standards, but they are mine and I will own them.

                1.  What's your favorite song on your iPod? Ain't Nothing Stopping Us Now, by Tower of Power http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cccv0wcf6KQ You want to listen to this! It's my go-to feel good, empowering song! (Also has a good beat to work out to, which is the sole reason I own an iPod.)
                2. What's your favorite season and why? Fall, because summer here is too hot, and winter is too cold! Plus, we like to go on vacation in the fall because it's cheaper, so we have that to look forward to!
                3. If you could go back and redo any age which would it be and why? 13, because my father died less than a month after I turned 14. I would like to have been able to spend more time with him.
                My Ovulation Chart
                TTC with MFI and poor ovulation since 03/11
                TCM and progesterone supplements
                Early loss in 08/11
                MFI Dx in 03/12 Low count, low motility, poor morphology and high levels of anti-sperm antibodies
                Treated with supplements and TCM. Much lower on all factors. Count too low to test for anti-bodies
                Met with new urologist 11/12
                IUI #1 12/12: Letrozole + Gonal-F = BFN
                DH started Clomid 01/13
                New SA shows 33 million sperm! Thank you Clomid!!!
                Discovered I am hypothyroid 04/13 waiting for specialist appointment
                Hoping to try IUI again in July?

                1. Right now, probably Some Nights by fun.  I can't seem to get sick of it, which is unusual.
                2. Definitely fall - love the cooler temps, leaves turning and football!  It's also the start of crockpot weather - yum!
                3. My college years.  While I'm happy where I ended up, I feel like I wasted a lot of opportunities in college to sit around and do nothing.
