QOTD:  I could really use some more clothes so that's on my list.  Not sure what else I want this year.

Beta #2 is 222 so it more than tripled in 48 hours.  Next beta is next Thursday.

 I want to say congratulations to all of the Turkey Basters with BFPs.  And huge hugs and good thoughts to everyone else who needs them.

I am trying to enjoy a little break during the holidays before we have our next FET in late January.

QOTD: Besides a baby?  I've asked for new sneakers, an immersion blender, and my mom and I did some shopping this fall, so I have some new work clothes coming my way.
My TTC Journey:

Progesterone to induce period w/ the goal of Clomid - never got period (September 2011). RE referral.
Femera - never responded to the meds (December 2011)
Clomid with TI - BFN (February 2012)
Injectables (Menopur) - hyperstimulated/canceled (March 2012)
Injectables #2 (Menopur) with TI- BFN (May 2012)
IVF - OHSS (transfer canceled), but 11 frozen! (June 1012)
FET - 1 transferred on 8/09/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 350.3; Beta#2: 365; Beta#3: 157. Biochemical pregnancy.
FET # 2 - 1 transferred on 11/01/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 337; Beta#2: 769. BFP!!! 1st ultrasound 11/28/12 showed heartbeat, but measuring 5 days behind. 2nd ultrasound 12/05/12 - miscarriage.
FET # 3 - 1 transferred on 1/24/13. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): BFN.

Well. This is not where I wanted to be at my last Turkey Baster check-in!

I had my D&E yesterday.  It went smoothly, the hospital staff were all incredibly kind to us, and I am completely relieved to have it behind us.  Between the sadness of losing the pregnancy and my dropping hormones, I am pretty damn weepy these days but trying to feel positive about our 5 frosties and our odds for success in the future.  I just scheduled my post-op visit with the OB and will meet with my RE after that to discuss our options for a FET. My RE wants me to wait for two periods, and said the first one after D&E will probably take 4-6 weeks to arrive, so I don't think we will be transferring again until March.  Shamrock Baby, anyone?

Congratulations to everyone with a BFP.  I wish you all the best and send you lots of sticky baby vibes.

To all who are in my boat, BFNs or cancelled, you have my sympathy! Hope to see you come back for another ride on the IVF train.

QOTD: A viable pregnancy would have been nice. I think my wife bought me a Kindle, which would be great. Other than that, I didn't really ask for anything too exciting.
Married my wife 8/2007 *** TTC #1 since 7/2011
4 IUIs w/ midwives = 4 BFNs
5 IUIs w/ an RE = 5 BFNs
IVF October/November 2012
ER 11/1: 22 eggs retrieved, 17 fertilized!
ET 11/6: 1 blast transferred, 5 frozen
BFP 11/15! Beta #1: 104 Beta #2: 613 Beta #3: 3415
Blighted ovum discovered at 7w5d; D&E 12/13
FET 1 cancelled
FET 1.1: ET 4/30: 1 blast transferred
BFP 5/7! Beta #1: 142 Beta #2: 730 Beta #3: 3100
*Everyone welcome*

Well at 5w4d I said goodbye yesterday to my little turkey angel. My hormones and body have been through hell, so I can't wait to feel "myself" again. It has been a crazy ride. Taking a cycle off to collect myself. I will do a final for now IVf#3 in January. I have a meeting with the RE dr. on Monday to go over things for next cycle. Dr. seems to think I will get take home baby soon, we shall see I still believe in miracles.

Wishing everyone love, light and all good things! This was a great group of woman, and I wish nothing but the best for you guys! <3

Hey girls. 

Update: I had my WTF with my RE and a second opinion consult for IVF #2. I have no idea which RE to go with. MH wants to stay where we are but the other RE seems to have a better rate and do more with my DOR dx. I wish these decisions were easier. I'm considering seeing if I can do a phone consult with C.CRM or SI.RM. 

QOTW: I have no clue. LOL. I did a bunch of shopping and I'm excited to see everyone open their stuff.  

HUGE hugs to our BFNs and Turkey Angels. Congrats, CC!!! And to our BFPs.
