  I haven't done a FET so I can't answer your questions, but I did want to say good luck!

  We are also playing the counting game.  Trying to figure out when to cycle and whether or not we should go with the 1 snowbaby or try another fresh cycle right away.

  Any thoughts on fresh vs frozen?

  Shoot that is so hard.  Are you OOP?  Is your snowbaby a blast?

  I think* I would probably do a fresh cycle but it is such a tough call!

  Thank you!  I am guessing I will maybe start BCPs in Nov. sometime then?  I wasn't sure if I did BCP and lupron like in a fresh cycle or just lupron.  

  I have a call with my RE in a few weeks but I am inpatient.

  We are OOP and can afford another fresh cycle, but have still asked for a discount b/c it will be our 3rd cycle.  Our snowbaby is a blast (d6 - 4BB) and is vitrified.

  We are leaning towards fresh, which means waiting until early 2012 b/c I drank quite a bit in August/early September while we were on holidays and don't want to spend lots of money on potentially compromised eggs.  We could, however, do a FET next month.

  My perfect world - if we were to get some luck rolling on our side - would be a sticky BFP in early 2012 from a fresh cycle and a couple more frosties to join the 1 we already have... but we all know how this game goes.  You can't count on anything. :S
