  Thanks for doing this!

  I'm awaiting my third IUI; first injects cycle. Insem should be in about two weeks.

  I loved going to San Felipe. We were on the beach, had no plans, no activities we "had" to do, no sightseeing planned. We just enjoyed the water, the people, being lazy, and getting a tan. Very relaxing!

  DH and I decided to do TI in September and have our next IUI be in October. Given all the meds he has been on the past month, we just don't think it would be worth the money. I am going to have him get another SA done towards the end of Sept. to see what we have to work with come October!

  Overall, the plan is IUI Oct, Nov, Dec. then moving on to IVF in the new year.

  QOTW ? What is your favorite vacation that you have taken?  It's a toss up between my honeymoon cruise to the Western Caribbean and a week in my favorite spot - Ogunquit, ME! :-)

  
  TTC since March/April 2010
  DX: MFI - less than 1 million sperm, 26% motility
  DH put on anastrozole to increase counts
  June/July 2011 100 mg Clomid + TS IUI#1 & IUI 2 - BFN :-(
  Forced break due to DH getting spinal surgery in August 2011
  IVF - January 2012: BFN
  FET in April 2012 - BFP at 6dp5dt! Beta #1 at 9dp5dt: 82.5, Beta #2 at 12dp5dt: 352 Beta #3 at 19dp5dt: 6000, saw heartbeat and one little bean at 5W6D!
  After nearly 3 years of waiting our LO was born December 18th 2012!

  Heading to acupuncture appointment #3 tomorrow and probably 4th cycle of TCM herbs.

  QOTW ? What is your favorite vacation that you have taken?
  Pre-DH (a year or two before we met), it was the epic snowboarding trip to Whistler, B.C and the cruise to Grand Turks and the Bahamas. DH and I are going to Disneyland for our 1st anniversary (he's never been!) on 9/13, so that will probably be another favorite trip.

  Hoping for BFP's for those who are in the 2WW. And of course baby dust to all of us.

  I am currently on day 5 of my 2WW from my first IUI.  I have my beta on 9/3.  So far all has been okay, a little crampy still but each day gets a little better. 

  QOTW: My favorite would have to be the cruise we took last year to the E. Caribbean.  It was the first vacation I had been on in a LONG time that I was totally disconnected and didn't worry about work while I was gone.  It was our first cruise and we fell in love with cruising.  We can't wait to do our next one.

  Last Monday I was supposed to start Provera so I went in for my U/S and blood work. My doctor was certain it would be same old. He was shocked to see a follicle growing! So they wanted me back in on Friday. I went in and they did another u/s and it was HUGE! They scheduled my IUI for that Sunday/Monday and gave me all the stuff. They said they would call me after my blood work, but it looked good.

  Fast forward to that night- blood work came back and they were not happy with my estrogen levels so everything was canceled.  I am still bummed and it was a roller coaster. DH and I still tried on our own all week. They said I would never even grow a follicle on my own, so who knows?! I am going back in tomorrow. Part of me doesn't care- I just want to get started already or know. My grandma is dying so I need to get to FL to visit her ASAP so I just need a timeline at this point so hopefully tomorrow will be full of information.

  QOTW: We took a practice honeymoon to the Greek Islands for 10 days. It was amazing as we splurged and I didn't have to plan it! It was so nice to not have any worries or responsibility!

My infertility problem is endometriosis and I would love to have support from women who are going through the same things as I am.

  Update- I have to wait until October to cycle again with fertility drugs.  I might cycle naturally in September or just wait until October.  I still have a 5 cm cyst on my right ovary.  I hate cyst.  It's been hurting on and off.

  QOTW- I had a lot of fun vacations.  I think when DH and I went to Cape May just to relax for a week was great, but I also love our vacations to Boca Raton.  As far as family vacations, when I was about 10, my entire family (uncles, aunts, grandparents) went to Dominican Republic.  That was amazing.
