Hi ladies! We did a fresh cycle this summer that has so far been going well ... 2 u/s with a hb and one more to go before graduating to the OB. Hoping to give DS a sibling in March. My pregnancy with DS was full of stress and constant spotting from pretty much week 6 to week 39, so I'm hoping to be more uneventful this time.
Can't wait to get to know all the ladies who are here!

On "egg health" cocktail DHEA/CoQ10/FRC/Pregnitude/Melatonin
Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!
