    UPDATE: ER was yesterday.  We retrieved 20, shockingly, all 20 were mature (19 were best quality), and 16 fertilized.  Two are already lagging behind, but the other 14 look good, so we'll check them again Monday, and hopefully make it to a 5dt on Wednesday.

    QOTW: It's in the low 70s here in New Orleans, and will stay there, or even a few degrees warmer for the next week.

    Update:  My boobs hurt and I started spotting (brown,pink) last night on CD22.  Not sure what to think since I have long cycles 32 days. 

    QOTW:  It sunny and 64 degrees.  Took DD to the park this morning - no coat, just a sweater.

    QOTW-I'm in the Chicago area and it was cloudy but warm outside. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 60's. Crazy for this time of year.

    Our ER was Wed and they got 5 eggs.  Of those 5 all 5 were mature, and 3 fertilized.  My Doc does 2 day transfers, so we had our ET yesterday.  We had a 4 cell, 3 cell, and 2 cells, and our doc suggested we transfer all 3 back in... so thats what we did.  So now I am in the 2WW.  My beta is on 12/11 and I'm going to try REALLY hard not to POAS till then.

    QOTD - Today was really warm for this time of year in Michigan!  It was about 55 degrees, and kind of overcast.  A lot of people were using this nice weather to get their Christmas lights up.  :)

    Update: Saw the RE for the follow-up to our IVF 2 disaster. He had no answers and seemed suddenly not so knowledgeable. Also not as nice as if he was on his guard. He called the cycle a success since we retrieved eggs and fertilized them. Well I would call a success making it to transfer :( He suggested MDLF if we want to try again but he and his nurse kept saying to me, "maybe you have enough children". Really, is that your choice? Sorry I am a bit emotional since AF showed and showed ugly, nothing is keeping it under control, they warned me about that, but yikes! I think if we ever do this again I will seek a second opinion here or go back and cycle at our old clinic out of state. I feel lost. Oh and our private insurance company refuses to cover my D & C surgery from July. We keep appealing it but they say now that it was not medically necessary, I called before the surgery and they had said it was covered. My RE told me I had to have the surgery since the pregnancy was so far advanced. I just want to go somewhere and cry today, we are out another $10,000 over this OOP it looks like :( Thanks for listening.

    Today I go in for my first beta after IVF 1. I was tossing and turning all night lastnight. I'm so nervous.

    The weather here is rainy and foggy. Not a good way to start a Monday. I have a long busy day at work today and hope there is a light at the end of this tunnel!
