Re: ****2IF Weekly UPDATE****
QOTW : I have an HTC android phone. I love it. It takes great pictures and is fast. My fave app is "out of milk" I use it to manage shopping lists.
ET was this Wednesday, and we put back three blasts of varying stages and grades. Ended up getting a surprise 4 frosties, that I'm hoping we won't be needing, but I'm thrilled to have a back-up plan in place. Beta is Wednesday, 12-12, and I'm hoping for a terrific Hanukkah present!
IVF #1: 9/11: ER: 12R, 11M, 10F, No Frosties; 5dt: 2 blasts, 1 morula; DD born 6/3/12
IVF #2: 11/12-12/12: ER: 20R, 20M, 16F, 4 Frosties; 5dt: 3 blasts, DS born 8/9/13
Update: Had my ET on Thursday and am in the 2ww. Beta is scheduled for Friday the 14th.
QOTW: I have an HTC android and I have no idea which app is my fave. I really only use it for a phone, facebook, email and the internet. I am boring.
Update: I have my 3rd beta and first ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday morning. Still on bedrest for ohss but am finally starting to feel some relief from the pain and discomfort.
QOTW: I have the iphone 4s. I guess the app I use most is the kindle (for all those days waiting at my REs office) and the "retail-me-not" app for store coupons. I can just open the coupon on the phone and they scan it in store without having to print and waste paper!
Update: We are in 2WW after TI cycle with monitoring. I am on Vivelle patch and PIO injections to support my levels. Possibly a Christmas miracle? More likely, heading toward IVF in January. This is an emotional time for me (us) as we are coming up on the anniversary of losing our daughter.
QOTW: I have an iPhone. Favorite app is probably Songza. Sort of like Pandora, only better!

QOTW-I have a IPhone and I use the facebook app a little too much!
Update on me-I'm currently 6dpiui and I have an appt tomorrow am for blood work to check my P4 levels.
I have my day 3 scan on Monday...so glad to finally be getting things rolling!
I have the iPhone 5, I don't have a favorite app...I actually don't have many, I should go looking.
Update: Today is 8dp3dt and I've tested for 2 days now with nothing. I know, I know...its probably just early. But really I don't feel very much of anything. With DS I knew immediately I was pregnant because of horrible acid reflux. Beta is friday.
QOTW: IPhone and I love it! I use the netflix app probably the most to keep DS occupied while I get errands done.

Plan: New semen analysis in January and #2 IVF hopefully with fresh sample in March.
QOTW: I have an iPhone 5. I don't have too many apps. I definitely use Facebook a lot, and DD plays a Minnie Mouse puzzle app way too much.
I had an IUI done today!! I have been feeling pretty down after my CP last cycle. I was supposed to have an IUI last month but that never happened because of the hurricane. So i'm just glad this one actually worked out!! Beta is 12/22 . . . hoping for an early christmas present!!
QOTW: i have an iphone 4. Facebook is probably the app i use most!
In the 2ww. Looking forward to returnign to the RE in January to resume testing. just 1 more cycle!
I have a Samsung Galaxy with the pullout key board, which I love! For apps, I really use the fertility friend app and Mighty Grocery the most, but I also have an app for the fabric and craft shops that are handy for coupons, too.
Love, luck, and prayers to my BFPB Dr. SnowflakeBride
I have been MIA. Myself, DH and DD have been sick all week along with our extended family. It has been awful. I have lost 10 lbs in 1 week but most of all I am worried about DD. She has lost weight : (
So we are all on the mend but the 2WW has of course been stressful. I am not sure when it is over since my cycle was canceled, no trigger but DH and I did the deed right before it was canceled making pregnancy a possibility. I have been POAS like crazy. DH and I both swear we see very very faint lines but they are not getting darker or they disappear. Weird. I am going to call RE tomorrow and see what they think. I am surprised I haven't gotten AF yet but of course since I didn't trigger I have not idea when I O'ed.
QOTW: I have the iPhone 5. Facebook is probably my most used app.

No real update, looking forward to hopefully going to a consult with the new IVF clinic in mid January.
Wishing everyone well!
QOTW: I have a Motorola smart phone and I love playing the game Happy Street.
I'm 12dpiui and received a BFN this morning. I guess there is still hope since I tested early, however, I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much.
QOTW: I have a Samsung Galaxy S II. My favorite app is probably Euchre. I swear I'm not 80 years old though.
hi everyone, i have been on a forced break and off the bump for the past month, which has helped me mentally not to focus on things that arent happening
but i was just checking on how everyone is doing and thought i'd update. i am supposed to go get bw in january but i am going to see if i can go the last week of december instead since my hubby is off work and i wont have to worry about getting a babysitter for DS. surely one week wont matter, right!? anyway i was supposed to be on BC but there was an insurance snafu and i didnt get my rx filled on time... at this point i think i am just going to stay off it, because really, i apparently dont need it in the first place to avoid getting KU.
QOTW: i have an iphone 4s and beside the social media apps, i love teuxdeux, its basically a to-do list and its awesome for keeping track of all the little things you want to get done each day!
BFP 1/21/13, blighted ovum m/c 2/12/13
No update here, just waiting to ovulate. I have the flu which sucks but we caught it early. I just hope DD and SO don't get it! SN: DD got 1st place at her first cheerleading competition this weekend!!!!
QOTW: I have a Samsung Galaxy and I use FB the most.
Rainbow Surprise Baby due 05/26/2017
