FireChiefsBrideEMTXOrangeFelt Congrats to Pete2835 on your BFP! And good luck to everyone else! QOTW: What physical features of yours do your hope your LO gets? And which from your DH / SO? Any updates? I am going to make a separate post about a FJHH next week.

See my post below. Wah- waaah...
QOTD: I think we both have pretty good hair... I hope the baby gets my DH's health, since mine is worthless!
Update: Nada. Just waiting around to see if anything comes from this month.
QOTW: I'm nearly blind and allergic to everything. I hope future child doesn't inherit that. Also, my ovaries clearly suck, but my MIL had 5 kids. Hopefully they don't get those problems from me either.
QOTW- Honestly, it doesn't matter a whole lot. Steven got my hair color and more of my eye color than DH's, but other than that he's the spitting image of DH in every way. I think he's pretty freaking adorable, so if all our kids come out that way it's completely fine with me.
Although, it we ever do have a girl, it'd be awesome if she looked a *tad* like me. 
UPDATE- I got a High on my monitor this morning, CD15, so I'm assuming I'll ovulate by this weekend, so it looks as if my body is still cooperating and I'll O in a relatively timely manner. YAY! I'm doing the mucinex to try and get more CM going though. There's some, and it's looking good, but I'm hoping for more.
*you can move me back to the regular trying list, I won't be doing anymore meds for a while.
Not much to update here, but I did just get a surge today (which really isn't really the difficult part for us). This is my first cycle since the m/c and I'm just trying to stay positive and not think about it too much. It is so hard to be optimistic right now, though.
QOTW: I honestly haven't thought about it. E is a pretty good mix of both of us and he seems to be turning out okay.
I have an appointment with my OB tomorrow morning and I hope to leave with some good information on whats going on with my long and very not regular cycles, and hope to feel like we are doing something proactive instead of just playing a waiting game.
QOTW: I would like if they got my nose, and DH is really laid back, so that would be nice if our kid wasn't as wound up as me.
update: still diligently taking my progesterone at night through at least 14dpo (today) per my OB. Will probably continue through thurs night and test again on Friday... just in case. I tested this morning and kept staring at the test... WILLING a line to appear. I started seeing stars and unicorns and probably almost blacked out from crossing my eyes but I don't think there was a line. Oh well. I'm pretty down about everything (see my thread-killer Christmas decor reply) and almost want to just go straight to an IUI at this point. But I know I need to try to be patient, at least a little longer. I just feel the despair starting to set in. I know, bah humbug.
qotw: I hope he/she is tall and cute with thick dark hair (like both of us) but not TOO hairy (like both of us... haha).
BFP 12.20.2010 :: missed m/c 1/2011 around 8 weeks
BFP @ 9dpo 5.24.2011 :: missed m/c 6/2011 around 7 weeks
positive for ANAs (1:40) with a speckled pattern
MTHFR c677t mutation (heterozygous)
*folic acid, baby asprin, Prometrium, acupuncture, Lovenox*
BFP @ 9dpo 2.1.2012 || HCG = 8 : Progesterone = 19.2
2nd HCG @ 11dpo = 40 || 3rd HCG @ 21dpo = over 5000!
Stick, little one, stick! EDD October 15, 2012
Update: In the 2 week wait. For the past 2 months my cycles have looked jacked up to me although it still appears I am ovulating so I guess that is a good thing. Praying for a Christmas miracle! I always test on 14 DPO for the first time so if AF doesn't come then 14 DPO is on my birthday this month. I'm trying to decide if I want to test on my birthday or wait a day. It will either be the best birthday present ever or suck big time! Decisions, decisions!
QOTW: Both DH and I have gorgeous blue eyes (if I do say so myself!) and I hope our child gets those. Also DH is tall and thin and I hope our kids are. I have always had relatively pretty skin with not a lot of blemishes or acne unlike DH so I hope our kids inherit that too.
TTC #1 since February 2011
BFP #1 1/14/12 EDD 9/24/12 m/c at 8w4d on 2/20/12
March 2012- Dx with PCOS, started metformin
July 2012- SA completely normal
Oh AustinBride I am right there with you on the bah humbug! Hang in there.... I'll confess to possiby falling off the toilet trying to cross my eyes enough to see a line. This sucks.
Update: not much going here. I've got some great cervical mucus so will expect a positive opk this week. It's not like I really believe dh and I can actually conceive on our own but can't a girl dream of a Christmas miracle??
QOTW: I just hope we can see both of us in our kids. That was the coolest thing about seeing Lilly is seeing both of us. She didn't look at all like I expected-- more like dh than me. But it was awesome. I do hope they get my feet though--dh's are really flat and weird!
And I hope they get his math brain but my comfort speaking in front of others. I want our kids to get only our best qualities and be super humans! too much to ask?
Married October 28, 2006, TTC since March 2009 IUI #1-8 w/ clomid = BFN
IVF # 1 May, 2011 = BFP!!! Stillbirth at 26 weeks (placental failure/severe IUGR)
FET #1 February, 2012-- BFP! Beta #1=84 Beta #2= 207 Beta #3= 3,526
Our Rainbow Baby is on the Way!
QOTW: I hope they get my eyes and build and DH's luxurious hair and strong teeth. I hope they don't get my sensitive skin or DH's gigantor big toe and barrel chest (for a girl, but if she does have a barrel chest, you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm going to push her towards singing as a hobby).
I will save personality traits for the QOTW next week!
Update: waiting to O. I think we will have good timing this cycle. I am happy that I don't feel that stressed about it right now. We'll see what my tune is in a week, though. I got really sad yesterday that I won't get to share a BFP with our families this Christmas. I don't think I realized how much I'd built that up as a big thing in my head. Patience, grasshopper.
GL everyone!
Thanks!
I am hoping LO gets DH hair color and long eyelashes...and his awesome sense of humor and easy-going nature. I hope LO gets my ambition, eye color, and love of learning.
