    Hey ladies! Nothing much going on here, just trying to sort through the psych consults, lawyer meetings, paperwork, etc with this witch of a donor agent I am working with:-(. Can't wait to get through it so I can be done with her, but at the same time I'm dragging my feet just in case the donor agency that I like comes through at the last minute like a superhero with the worlds most perfect donor... Anyway, I actually got most of my shopping done already with the exception of my MIL and my employees. Both are really hard for me to figure out gifts--anyone have any great ideas?

    IVF#3(4/13) Natural start antagon protocol, 12R,11F. one PGS normal at day 6 transfer. BFN.
    IVF#4 (11/13) C.CRM (ODW.U normal 8/13 Still no Diagnosis) EPP/antagonist. ER 13R/7M/6F. Only 1 made it to freeze. Abnormal. Looking into options of DE, Fresh vs frozen.
    10/14 new local RE to look into what's next. CD3 FSH 4.7, AMH 0.9. Met with DE agencies and exploring options for feb/march 2015.
    Surprise natural bfp (4 days before donor is signed). Beta #1 at 9dpo: 51.8, 2nd beta: 195 (25 hours doubling) @11dpo. 3rd beta (12/15): 516 (35 hrs doubling) 4th beta(12/17): 895 (58 hours doubling) 5th beta(12/19): 2120.

    I only have 4 people left to buy for and thankfully this year we're not doing as many gift exchanges. It feels so dumb to give people a list of what you want and get a list of what they want. I'll just buy what I want and let everyone else buy their own gifts too. lol

    @J&D2007 Would your MIL enjoy a spa gift certificate? As for employees I'd just go with gift cards (Starbucks gc & a mug?), unless you want to do something more personal.

    @DP, thanks for the gift ideas. I honestly don't know if MIL would go to a spa or not. I don't think she's ever been. I'll have to think about that. She is all organic, nothing she eats, touches, or smells, or looks at can have anything in it but beans, soy, or nuts..

    Hi ladies! Not much going on here.  I'm on BCP waiting for my FET in January.  Next week is a busy IF week for me Monday is my calendar review and repeat saline sono and Tuesday is my endo biopsy. 

    I don't have much planned for the weekend.  I knew I had to work, but I was hoping to find time to see Mockingjay part 1 with DH for my birthday.  So far I'm not sure it will work out.  He had to work this morning, I am at work now, and he just left to go to stop by his parents (we have to borrow a car from his parents while mine is in the shop from my run in with a deer) and go to a friends house.  Tomorrow we both have to work, but maybe we can squeeze in a movie in the evening.  Luckily we got to do some fun celebrating on Thursday (my actual birthday) when we went to the Garth Brooks concert.

    I am maybe 1/3-1/2 done with my shopping.  I am finished with my parents, my nephews, FIL and most of DH's presents bought.  I think I can finish DH up this weekend, then we will be down to my brother, BIL (sister's husband), BIL (DH's brother) and BIL's girlfriend (all getting gift cards), my sister (I'll get her a sweater and an infinity scarf which she has been wanting), MIL (no idea), DH's nephew and 2 neices, BIL's girlfriends two boys, and BIL's ex's kid that he some how always has for Christmas.  The kidsare tough since we only see them once or twice a year, t hey range from 3yo to 13yo.  I think the neices are 8 and 10, so maybe this fun nail polish kit (has a bunch of polish, stencils, embelishments, etc) I saw at the store?  The nephew will want a video game.  The other ones, I have no idea what to get.

    Hi girls-

    @sorrellam30‌ - not too much going on here; waiting for my dr KK appt in late february.

    @J&D2007- I would try going to whole foods and getting a few different things they have there. Maybe some lotion, bath products? I'm obsessed with whole foods and they have a lot of luxurious bath products that would be nice in a basket.

    I agree with @DoublePortion about the starbucks mugs with gift cards. Last year I bought a Starbucks mug with a $5 gift cards for some coworkers (just enough to buy 1 drink there) and they really loved it.

    @Twinkie0612‌ - Happy Birthday!! Hope you did something fun!

    As for me, I start my new job at the end of the month. I am excited for the change.

    I have an appt with an ob/gyn (never had one!) to discuss if she would be open to collaborating with Dr KK if treatment ever works for us. I'm just trying to be an established pt before we consider our options.

    Normally I don't do well on treatment breaks, but right now I have zero desire to cycle again. I'm so very tired of trying and getting nothing in return. I just don't want to deal with any of this right now.

    Almost done with shopping. We have a few gift cards to get, but most of the shopping is done. I just have to do my dad and my husband's stockings, which is fun anyway-

    Me (32) DOR, elevated NK Cells/ 2 copies of MTHFR mutation/ MH (35) azoo/high DFI   (TTC#1 since 2009)
