My History:
Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!
1st Beta 13dpiui 54, 2nd beta 48 hours later 115, 3rd beta 48 hours later 310, 4th beta 72 hours later 1748.
So annoyed

So yesterday was my 12 week ultrasound and I was having that new blood test they do to test for genetic disorders and tell you the sex of the baby. So I drink my 32oz of water before the appt, get there, and they have me on a triple booked appt. I had to wait an hour and 45 minutes to be seen- mind you, I have to pee so freaking bad, I could taste it. When the ultrasound tech finally calls me, and does the ultrasound, she could unofficially tell me everything looks fine, but the Dr wasn't there to officially say because he had an emergency c-section, which I was never told he wasn't there. At that point all I cared about was peeing. So I come out of the bathroom, head up front & ask if I go to the lab now for the blood work. I am then informed that 1 lab tech was out sick, the other went home early- PERFECT! They ask me if I can come back this morning at 8:45am, 15 minutes before the office even opens to have it done. Sure, I already left work early yesterday, let's be late today- my boss will LOVE that. So I show up this morning where I am met at the elevator by one of the girls that works the front desk. She informs me that the lab tech who was sick yesterday is still sick, the other one doesn't come in until the afternoon, the Dr is off today, and the office manager is an hour away at a meeting- she can't even get into the office because she doesn't have a freaking key! She then says, can you come back this afternoon? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? I LOST it and left. GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
And this is so unlike that office- I have been going there since I was pregnant with my 4 year old son- I have NEVER had issues like this. Get you freaking shit together would you?! I swear my boss thought I was lying about the appt this morning, so frustrating.

With the u/s though, even the dr candy everything looks ok from the u/s, but they still need to wait for the bloodwork results to officially say.
MC Sept '10, MC Dec '10, DS born 2012
Clomid + TI = BFP #1 March '13, MC April '13
Gonal F + trigger + IUI #1 = BFP #2 10/21/13, MC 10/31/13
Gonal F + trigger + IUI #2 = BFP #3 1/16/14, ectopic w/ heartbeat & rt salpingectomy 1/29/14
IVF #1 - ER 5/9/14 transfer cx'd due to high P4

The u/s is normal though. They CAN'T tell you everything is ok without the two sets of lab work to check everything. The NT scan is just a part of the test as a whole.
