Manic Monday (updated with some info)

I'm almost 24 hours pupo! Boom

ETA: I should probably add that yesterday we transferred 2 good/excellent little embies and they're hopefully snuggling in right now as I lay in bed bored out of my mind. I'm not a superstitious person for the most part but DH and I have agreed that if we're lucky enough to have a son that we will name him after DH's uncle who was part of FDNY and died in 9/11. We went into a private waiting room just before the ET to change. DH hugged me and as I looked over his shoulder sitting on the counter was a FDNY hat. Keep in mind we were in suburban Chicago so the irony is scary. It took my breath away when I saw the hat.

Oooh! Crazy about the hat. I love good signs like that, even though I'm not superstitious either.

Crossing my fingers for yer beta, lady! 

TTC #1 for about 3.5 years
ME: 37, PCO, immune issues?, teflon uterus (my added diagnosis)
HIM: 38, Perfect. (Showoff.)
Month before starting Clomid, spontaneous pregnancy. m/c at 7 weeks and D&C.
Four months of Clomid, one IUI, with Intralipid each cycle: BFNs all
IVF 1.0 July 2012 -- Lupron, bravelle, menopur, estrogen, progesterone supps, intralipid. 14 ER, 14 fertilized, 1 blast transferred, 2 on ice. BFN
FET 1.1 -- 10/2, transferred our 2 blasts. Lupron, PIO, estrogen, baby aspirin, prednisone. BFN.
IVF 2.0 December 2012 -- Bravelle, Menopur, Ganirelix, Prednisone, Metformin, estrogen, progesterone supps. 22 eggs retrieved on 12/14, 17 mature, 15 fertilized. OHSS anticipated so ET cancelled. 3 embryos frozen.
Broke up with old RE. Moving on to new dude. Maybe the change of scenery will be just the trick for our frosties. On BCPs for possible April FET.
