    Nothing new to report here-go in for yet another Beta Friday.  Last HCG was 315 and I am hoping it will be gone a week later.  I really want AF to arrive so I can start FET

    Got room for one more?  Looks like I'm going to be an April Showers for IVF 1.3 (maybe 3rd cycle's a charm?).

    I requested a new RE within the practice so that I'm seeing the one who does most of the morning monitoring appts.   Hopefully
