@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.

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.

@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-
