  Update:  Going to my IVF coordination appointment and injects class today!  Woot woot!  Finally feels like I'm doing something, instead of just waiting and twiddling my thumbs.

  QOTW:  I have to say that when I need to turn my brain off I enjoy a good action movie (or a silly comedy).  And basically, I watch movies to get wholly absorbed and turn my brain off for a little while.  I wish I had more intellectual taste in movies, but I don't!

  Gregermis -- Yay, you're getting so close!  I'm so excited for you and hope you have a smooth, easy (and bountiful!) ER.
  

  Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.

  IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.

  Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

  update - I am 8dpo on my last natural cycle before I go on bcps.  Based on my usual lp I'll be on bcps by the end of this week.  I still haven't had my consult with the new RE so I'm not sure what our timeline will be, but they want me on bcps early so we don't risk a 60 day cycle delaying us.  As soon as AF arrives I'll be calling to hopefully schedule the consult (assuming they have all the forms they need from me). 

  QOTW - I am a sucker for a good musical.  Whenever I am home alone I throw in a musical and sing along at the top of my lungs.

  TTC since 2010

  lots of IUIs and 1 IVF all BFNs

  FET currently on hold

  Update:  We go for our inject class on Thursday afternoon.  I'm semi looking forward to it, in that I feel like we are doing something besides waiting.  Plus I'm hoping to get our calendar then.
  

  QOTW: I'm a big fan of comedies, anything with Will Ferrell makes me happy.  I'm also a sucker for a romantic comedy too.

  Update: I posted yesterday but am still excited to announce that IVF #1 is set to go and start in January! Woot woot!

   QOTW: I really enjoy horror and romantic comedies. Regular comedies are fun too. I used to love drama, but I can't take sad movies anymore. I cry enough on my own! Most of the time around the holidays I always have some sort of Christmas movie or special on the tube though.

  Update: After an epic meltdown on Saturday and feeling so crampy yesterday that I was sure this cycle didn't work, I am feeling a little better today. Not nearly as crampy and having a kind of "pulling" sensation. My beta is tomorrow morning, so fingers are firmly crossed!

  QOTW: We are big indie movie fans and definitely don't mind subtitles. One of my all-time faves is Amelie.

  Update: Dr. says the borderline FSH result I got last week is nothing to worry about, and it's common for just one ovary. We did however draw more blood to check my AMH level, and I hope to hear back tomorrow. I also did a repeat HSG that I should hear about tomorrow as well. Everything seemed to be fine with that. DH and I are also going to an IVF orientation tomorrow, and it should answer any remaining questions we have. It's all starting to feel more real!

   QOTW: I love comedies and suspense. But around the holidays, I like romantic comedies, especially Serendipity! Love that movie.

  Good luck gregermis! You're almost there! Gl to those with upcoming betas. I have hardly any updates. I posted on IF that I'm still in the middle of bcps but I started cramping badly and heavy spotting today. I'm considering calling to be sure I'm all set. I'm obsessing a bit over this homogeneous c677t. I'm hoping the increase in folic acid is enough.

  I'm doing consultations for IVF#3 with a new RE. I had a consult today and we are looking to do low stim since I only get 2 eggs anyway. Going for quality over quantity.  I am probably looking to cycle again in February. I have another consult next week out of state and then we will decide how we are going with.

  Movies: I am a romantic comedy girl. But my family always watches Christmas Vacation this time of year and I will have to watch It's a Wonderful Life soon.
