    Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF. I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).

    We are using open ID donor sperm. IUIs #1-7=BFN. IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).

    Run two polls, and then top 3 from each poll in the finals?

    @K111K here for now I guess until we officially start our check-in on Monday!

    @emmuffy I was thinking I can do Mondays and you can take Thursdays? How does that sound? Whichever works for you!
