    CD19 - Called doc office and scheduled my cycle review with the nurse to get FET #2 set up for beginning of July. I keep flip flopping if I want to put in 1 or 2 embryos. I have two left (and there is no possibility for any more, we have no more sperm left).

    QOTW: Hmmmm . . . I would pay off my credit cards, car, and some of the mortgage. I would then take a trip with the hubby, donate some money to a cause, and prob help my parents out with their bills. A million dollars doesn't go very far in California. ;) But a girl can dream!

    CD20. For those that read my post I have decided to go back to my original RE's office and take the more conservative approach with medicated IUI cycles. I just had my AMH levels retested and they came back at 0.07, down from 0.389 in December. I'm trying not to let that upset me, but it's hard. I'm slowly accepting the fact that I will more than likely never have a another baby. I'm going into the IUI process with no expectations. I'm not going to stress over the TWW like I have in the past. I'm doing 3-6 cycles because insurance will pay for it, so why not.

    QOTW: I would pay off all of our bills, help out my parents a little bit and save a chunk for retirement. Oh, and take a really nice vacation :

    @RudyGirl76 - <Hugs> I'm sorry you have to go through this, try not to get to the point in thinking you will never have another child. I truly believe what you put out to the universe, will come back to you. The world works in mysterious ways and you never know what will happen. Take it a day at a time. Look at it as you have 6 chances! That's awesome. Eat really healthy (veggies and fruits), get some exercise, and try to meditate. I bet all of those things will help. :) Chin up.

    Hey all - sorry for the delay, I was actually on a vacation!

    I got some of my blood work back and several of my levels are wonky and I need to get my thyroid meds upped. I also got my next cycle meds ordered so this is all new territory for me. 

    QOTW: I am boring. I would pay off my house, car, CCs, and DH would get a new car. The rest would go into savings for a rainy day fund - beefing up college, 401k, house repairs, etc.

    Kid #1 - 09/03/12
    Kid #2 - maybe???
    Diagnosed with Severe Ashermans 
    Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube
    #11 or IVF with scarring still inside?
    1 lone embryo from September 2016 retreival, dx with Trisomy 16, starting fresh
