@SwtAnana I deleted my Facebook a while back b/c it seemed like everyday was another pregnancy announcement or pictures of babies. It's not worth the heartache and tears.
TTC for 8 years. Started in 2008 with timed intercourse, ovulation testing, no official monitoring. OB-GYN recommended Clomid and timed intercourse, attempted for 6 straight months. First surgery June 2009 (OB-GYN): diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and large hydrosalpinx on right tube. Second surgery (July 2009, RE performed this): Right tube had to be removed, lots of adhesions removed. Attempted "trying on our own" as per RE recommendations, unsuccessful 5-6 months. HSG performed December 2009: left tube open. February 2010: started Femara and timed intercourse, attempted 6 months, no BFPs. Took a break for a while. January 2011: started IUI process, ovaries never properly responded to medications, 6 failed attempts, never actually completed an IUI. Took 2012-2014 off due to depression and frustration (side note: did complete grad school to become a nurse practitioner- great distraction). 2015: started seeing RE again, went through tons of testing and HSG, left tube now blocked, only option is IVF. September 2015: Started first official IVF cycle, cancelled in October due to large cyst on left ovary. October 2015: started on birth control for 2 months. December 2015: attempted to start another IVF cycle, cysts on both ovaries on initial ultrasound, left was huge, cancelled to aspirated cyst. January 2016: Cyst back, surgery for ex-lap, cyst and adhesions removed. March 2016: Attempted second IVF cycle, estrogen way too high, cyst back, cancelled again. April 2016: Third attempted IVF cycle, 7 eggs retrieved, 2 mature (but not great) embryos made to fresh transfer, neither implanted. May-Sept 2016: Break to regain sanity. Sept-Oct 2016: Attempted fourth IVF cycle, very successful, cyst still on left but we ignored. 7 mature "great looking" eggs retrieved, 4 mature embryos made it to day 5 transfer. Transfer aborted due to large amount of endometriosis fluid in uterus. FET of 2 embryos completed on 12/12/16. 12/22/16 1st Beta 179 BFP!!! 12/24/16 2nd Beta 449!! EDD 8/30/17 with two girls!!!!!
Audrey (4lb 8oz) and Olivia (6lb 6oz) born 8/10/17!!
Egg retrieval tomorrow at 7am! Fingers crossed! This is my first time and a bit nervous. Fertilizing tomorrow then freeze for PGS testing. Transfer date is a big question and I feel like I'm jumping the gum but I'm hopeful.
@AEHeaton FX for you! I hope everything went smoothly! Keep us posted!

@tiffanyw1783 I had been avoiding FB for that very reason and it did wonders for my mood. Don't know what possessed me to log back in. I'll be taking another long hiatus
@AEHeaton hope your transfer went well and that you're getting some much needed rest!

I just got my schedule for my FET in January. Still waiting on the genetics report but assuming we have at least one normal embie, we'll be proceeding for a transfer on Jan 12th! I was so surprised when they told me that because I was sure it'd be late Jan/early Feb.
I think I'm gonna sneak over to the Jan FET thread to get a sneak-peek on what to expect.
