  Question of the day: Favorite place is J. Crew... my husband groans everytime he sees a bag from there because I can do damage in less than 5 minutes!

  Only 5 more bcp's and I am on my way to stimming for #3!

  Congrats to TTGP, so happy for you!

  Best of luck to all upcoming ERs, ETs, and Betas.

  ((Hugs)) to those who need it especially, Iamanurse. Thinking of you all...

  Update: Tomorrow is beta #3. It's been five days since our last beta and while the wait has been hard I'm trying to remain positive. If all looks good with tomorrow's numbers, we will move forward with our scheduled u/s on Monday. Any spare t&ps you have would be appreciated

  QOTD: For clothes, definitely J. Crew but for everything else I am also a huge Target fan.

  Update:  Well I did the bad thing and cheated before my beta and took an hpt on Saturday 4dp5dt and got a very faint positive, I was just feeling off and different so I tested for fun.  And then got a Yes+ Sunday 5dp5dt on a FRER digital.  And darker lines every day since, so we are very cautiously excited and I think I could make a collage with all of the hpt's.  My beta is on Thursday that is the latest.  I know a positive hpt still has many hurdles ahead with IVF, just hoping for sticky blastie(s)  Positive vibes and baby dust to everyone

  Update:  I am stimming finally!  I am having an issue with my body not getting rid of the the blood pooled at the bottom of my ute quick enough though.  They are worried my body won't have enough time to build up a new lining.  

  QOTD: I don't have just one either.  Stick me at the outlets and I am a happy camper.

  QOTD: Jcrew online for the sales.  I love getting a deal there because their stuff holds up well.

  Update: Had my WTF appointment yesterday.  They have no clue why we had a zero fert rate.  The eggs looked good, the sperm looked good but it was like the eggs were coated in teflon.  Therefore, ICSI it is for the next IVF.  Good news is that I will start bcp when AF shows (next week) and then we will be off again for IVF #3.

  GL to all of those cycling and awaiting ER and ET and the 2ww.  Hugs to those who need them.  ((hugs))

  Congrats to the BFPs, keep them coming.

  Good luck ladychicago.

   

  Update-I have my lining check and bloodwork in 1/2 an hour.  Hopefully all looks good.  I also have my WTF from last cycle.  This should be interesting.

  QOTD:  I don't know if I have a favorite.  For clothes I love Banana Republic and head straight to the sale rack.  For shoes I go to Macy's or Nordstom's.  For house stuff I love Williams Sonoma and Crate and Barrel.  But I'm a shopper.  I window shop everywhere and can always find something to buy.

  QOTD: All-time favorite is Nordstrom, but I can rarely afford to shop there.:( Other favorites I can go to more often are Target, Costco, Ann Taylor Loft and zappos.com, and I will soon add Trader Joe's to that list

  Update:  Educating myself a lot lately. I joined Resolve go to support meetings. On Saturday DH and I went to a Resolve-sponsored seminar on embryo donation, which was greatly educational.

  Hot flashes continue; I saw an OB last week, who drew b/w. I see him again on Friday to see what he can do about them. I hope he can do something, because I've really had enough of this $hit.

  In other news: I start my new job on Monday, which means limited nesting But it's good, because for me it's Phase One of getting to IVF 2 (need $$$$)
