Congrats to the BFP's. Huge hugs for those that need them.

Congrats @rox825!!!
Good luck @calindi!!
If you would like to be added please answer the following:
1. Where are you at in the IUI process? (2WW, meds, break, etc.)
2WW
2. Which IUI are you on?
7dpiui
3. Test/Beta day?
Tuesday, March 4th! Although I am dying to know I think I am just going to wait and see if AF comes or not. I really rather just have nature take its course then have to see a BFN on a stick.
Can I share a secret with you all?!?! Well my husbands birthday is 3/29 and I thought maybe if it was a BFP that I would tell him its a BFN and then just do my best to keep it a secret and then really surprise him on his birthday. I maybe have thought up this whole plan which I know is incredibly silly but I try so hard to not typically get my hopes up but maybe this is our little miracle! You never know, right?!?
QOTW: What's your guilty pleasure?
Any reality TV, especially Bravo and maybe brownie batter

After my IUI I paid my bill before we left the RE office and DH started to freak a little. He says he doesn't want to do another IUI again until we have saved up more $.
