QOTW: Can you play an instrument? If so, what do you play? Nope not even a little bit! I wish I could play the piano tho!
QOTW: I tried to learn guitar, but never stuck with it. I do have a didgeridoo (from Australia) and can play it. I used to be able to really play it, but now it just sits in a corner.

QOTW: I can play a few bars of twinkle twinkle, mary had a little lamb, and every other nursery rhyme that uses the same chords on a few instruments, but that is it. I can sing. Well, I could sing when I was younger, now I can hold a tune, but that is about it.
Kid #1 - 09/03/12
Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube
#11 or IVF with scarring still inside?
1 lone embryo from September 2016 retreival, dx with Trisomy 16, starting fresh
CD8 and AF continues to linger, why? I wish I knew...
QOTW: Nope, always wished I could. I plan on starting my DD on the piano when she is ready. I would love to be able to play the violin, that's always been a dream of mine.
CD2. AF finally showed up after six weeks! I'm taking another cycle off because I have decided to switch RE's and because I think the cyst is still there that kept me from doing anything last month. The extra time off can only help. Also, I just felt like my doctor wasn't helpful or thorough. She never evaluated my DH after 3 months of medicated cycles without success. We found a new doctor and they run a battery of tests on both partners right away. I'm bummed about skipping another cycle, but I'm hopeful it will pay off in the long run. Fingers crossed!
QOTW: I played the flute for many years, but didn't keep it up after I got out of high school. My mom plays the piano and I wish I would have stuck with the piano lessons she insisted on, but I decided the flute was much better. ha ha
