  • I'm not expecting AF until mid-June, so I'm playing the waiting game until then. On CD3 of that ycle I'll do 3weeks of BCPs and overlap with Lupron before stimming- pretty similar to IVF #1.

     

    Favorite ice cream or sorbet? Benand Jerry's S'mores ice cream- I can't get enough! 

    Favorite vacation spot? Atlantis in the Bahamas - there's something for everyone!

     

    Fav brand of pads/tampons?playtex

     

    Fav brand shampoo? I love Biolage, but when I'm pinching pennies I just get Garnier 

     Sexiest TV Actor/Actress?  I'm weird, but I love Mark Ruffalo! I like quiet and quirky

    dx: MFI 0% morph & low count. Occasional Anovulatory cycles.

  • I should be starting Lupron around June 11th.

    Favorite ice cream or sorbet?  I'm not a big ice cream person, so my favorite flavor is vanilla.  I only eat ice cream if I'm getting a sundae, and the vanilla doesn't interfere too much with the hot fudge, whipped cream, and nuts :)

    Fav brand of pads/tampons?  Tampax

    Fav brand shampoo?  Aussie Mega Moist Shampoo

    Sexiest TV Actor/Actress?  Hmmm...I don't watch a lot of tv, and all the tv I do watch is all reality shows.  So I can't think of anyone right now.

  • I'm planning on being a Sparkler as long as we can get our money right first ;) AF has reared her ugly head for me today too (no wonder I was putting away some chocolate last night!)

    Ice Cream: Cold Stone's cheesecake, any mint chocolate chip, and Ben and Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake, which makes me stalk the freezer section every Fall.

    Vacation Spot: I'll have to say NYC for now; although I have never been to Paris and have always wanted to go. I love beachy locations too, but haven't found "the one" yet :)

    Pads: Always Infinity... never been a fan of tampons

    Shampoo: I just use cheap ol' Suave; right now I'm using the Keratin Infusion products

    Actor: Michael C. Hall... LOVE me some Dexter!

    Me: 30, DH: 30
    ~*~Married 8/31/08~*~

    DX: MFI due to Chemo/Stem Cell Transplant for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. RE said IVF is best option with DH's frozen boys.
    IVF #1 April 2012: Menopur and Bravelle; 1 egg retrieved, 0 fertilized. Boo.
    IVF #2 August 2012: Gonal-F 300, Menopur 300. Beta #1 9/6: 382... BFPx2!
