Thanks for being here

Yesterday Manada and I had a long day of clinic appointments. Cycle monitoring for her we may have a follicle that will get big enough if her cycle is long enough this month, sono for me yes I have polypsfun times, surgery next cycle, and hsg for both of us we are both people for whom they were horrible and my polyps seem to be blocking my left tube. In addition, I found out yesterday that my brother is in the hospital he should be ok so I'm flying to Chicago this morning and then back in time i hope! for our insemination.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you all for being here and for welcoming us to this community. As we sat in the waiting rooms yesterday we both followed this board and appreciated that we knew there were people out there who knew what we were going through.
Whether it is was reading the baby name discussion or having you all offer info and support about Manada's follicle question, it was comforting to log in to this board.
****loss discussed*****

We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.

Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.

Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response

IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6  6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm. 

***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***
