I was having a bad day today so instead of heating up my Smart One I have in the freezer here at work, I went out and got a Chocolate Glazed & Boston Kreme donuts from DD for lunch instead.

I'm still secretly pissed at my friend that just emailed me her u/s pic. I emailed her a happy congratulations, but am now flaming pissed. Are there twelve steps to this program??
12/2010 - DH diagnosed with stage 3B testicular cancer. #cancersucks
10/2011 - Complications with DH and lymph nodes in groin area removed. No longer able to ejaculate.
1/2014 - TTC#2 - IUI#1. No luck. Findings: DH sperm did not survive freeze. RE recommends IVF with ICSI.
3/2014 - IVF Cycle #1 Started BCP
4/2014 - Lupron, Gonal-F, and Menopur
5/7/2014 - ER day (25 eggs retrieved, 15 mature)
5/10/2014 - 6 fertilized, 3 embryos frozen - one grade A and two Grade B. Plan was to grow out to blastocyst stage but rest of eggs arrested by day 3. Decided to freeze on day 3.
2/9/2016 - FET #1 with Grade A (8 cell - 3 day embryo); 2/20 - Beta was <5. BFN. Waiting for period and start next FET. 7/8/2016 - FET #2 with Grade B (8 cell - 3 day embryo), fingers crossed this one sticks. 7/19 - Beta was 74. BFP!!!!; 7/21 - Beta was 182; 1st U/S on 8/2; 2nd U/S on 8/16
I'm letting my phantom symptoms get the best of me..
Same here. I am not trusting FF this cycle b/c it keeps changing my CHs. One day I'm 12 DPO and the next only 5. I have also felt sick the past few hours ( could be from my donut lunch?) but DH is convinced that it means I'm KU. Once he's convinced, it's hard for me not to think it as well.

I told my boss I was in late today because I was waiting for someone to come fix our washer but I wasn't, our washer is fine. I just have been so freaking tired and wanted to sleep in an extra hour and a half.

I'm letting my phantom symptoms get the best of me..
This. Last night, I was googling things like "sore teeth" (mine were killing me) and skin break outs (because I had a huge pimple on my back). Like something was going to jump off the screen at me and yell, "You're like so totally preggers!!"
I had an US today to see if I was able to get my booster HCG shot. Well I got it, and on the way home I made DH stop so that we could get pg test just so I can see a positive tomorrow morning. I am so ashamed.
After 4 years, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs our surprise miracle is here! My Blog

I admit, ever since this was talked about a few days ago, mine have stared to hurt. Gotta love the power of the mind !

Sore teeth! HAHAHAwell i dont feel so bad.. last weekend I had a huge aura without a migraine and continued searching google until i could find ONE correlation between that and pregnancy... ((Sigh))
I keep staring at my chart. It's a hot mess this cycle because of traveling and the holidays. FF just moved my CH from CD14 to 15. I'm not sure I agree, but I know having a pretty chart won't make me KU and at least it looks like I've ovulated.
I just told DH that we're going to save money by not eating out anymore and now all I want for dinner is take-out Chinese. Our fridge is broken so all we've been eating is soup...I don't want more soup!
I had an US today to see if I was able to get my booster HCG shot. Well I got it, and on the way home I made DH stop so that we could get pg test just so I can see a positive tomorrow morning. I am so ashamed.
I'm just the opposite - I don't want to test out my trigger, because I know I'd have a hard time seeing a positive and not having that little nagging hope that it's real, even if I know it's not!
I am totally having Tuesday Q&A time in my head regarding my (way too early) phantom symptoms.
I told my boss I was in late today because I was waiting for someone to come fix our washer but I wasn't, our washer is fine. I just have been so freaking tired and wanted to sleep in an extra hour and a half.
I'm jealous I didn't think of this. I'm so freaking tired today I'm not even working because I'll just screw something up and have to fix it again tomorrow.

The best/worst part was that all I typed in was "sore teeth" and a bunch of things about it relating to pregnancy came up. I was shocked. Just one more thing to make me crazy.
Also, I've been googling "Ways to tell your husband you are pregnant" and taking note of things that are 'my style'. Oy. Someone put me out of my misery.

I'm mad at DH but am pretending I'm not for the next couple of days so we can DTD, b/c I know that if I'm mad at him he won't do it...and by the time we really "make up" it will be too late this month!

Must be pregnant.
But hey, I can rationalize it now that they have those "Drive Thru Diet" commercials, right?? And really, it is pretty low-carb, which is what I'm supposed to be eating. Help me out here people.

Re: Anyone up for a Tuesday Flame Free Confessional?
I keep a cup in my office for when I get water from our breakroom water fountain.
I just knocked it off my desk accidentally and broke it...and I almost cried. I loved my cup. It had Grimace on it and looked like this:
I can't believe I almost cried over a broken cup. ::sigh::

7/8/2016 - FET #2 with Grade B (8 cell - 3 day embryo), fingers crossed this one sticks.
