Good Morning, Hearts! I am siting here deep breathing, as my anxiety is through the rough right now. I have my transfer tomorrow, and I am so nervous! I hate this feeling! I am happy I actually made it to this point, but it is so scary to think of all that lies ahead. This just has to work!!!!
QOTD: The Four Seasons in Kona (big Island) was unreal. Mauii was great but didn't hold a candle to Kona. It was true paradise.
We are starting to plan our next tropical vacation, so seeing all your answers will be very helpful for places to investigate!
Good luck everyone! It is so exciting to see so many bfp's happening!!!
Big hugs hun! Stay in the moment, and take each step when it comes. I think that is how I am getting through this FET! The unknown is so scaary, especially what we went through, stay encouraged and if you need me pm or shout me out. I will be chilling after transfer in a bit
Thank you! You are so sweet! I hope both of our FET's bring us good news!

**Warning: Losses and living child mentioned** BFP#1 1/31/12, EDD 10/6/12 Harrison Gray born sleeping @ 18w6d. You changed our lives little guy. BFP#2 EDD 10/29/13, C/P 2/25/13, Bye little Ish, we barely got to know you. BFP#3 EDD 12/21/13, Baby Boots born 11/23/13Myrainbowbaby!
Congrats to BFPs, and serious support and thoughts for those who need them - I know that road and it certainly sucks.
Well, I begged for an early ultrasound, and my fantastic dr complied
I am 5 weeks 2 days today (I think), and we got to see two gestational sacs and two yolk sacs!!! The second gestational sac is really tiny so he thinks that one may not make it, but the main one looks perfect, great size and shape! This makes my husband very happy - he is scared to death of twins! I will be happy with any number of babies
We'll re-check in a week, and continue weekly blood work. Dr was very happy and confident and gave me a hug before we left. It is totally surreal and I still feel so cautious and can't believe it worked.
My favorite vacation was definitely our honeymoon - we also went to South Africa (can't believe someone else went too!). My family is from there, so we saw some relatives, but spent most of the time doing animal safaris in Kruger National Park - once in a lifetime experience. I wish I could go back!
Me: 35, DH: 34, Started TTC #1 since November '11
Several Clomid/Femara rounds, then fresh IVF September '12
Fresh IVF #1: chemical pregnancy, FET #1: ectopic, methotrexate
FET #2 resulted in our amazing baby boy Levi, born on 11/3/13 at 8 lbs, 5 oz. He is our everything!
My ER was last Friday, they got 19 eggs. RE was concerned that I overstimmed a little bit, so I'm on Dostinex and the electrolyte/protein regimen. The first couple days after retrieval weren't pretty but I'm feeling much better today. Yay!
Currently we have 13 healthy embryos! 5 day transfer is tomorrow morning. In the beginning, transfer day felt so far off... I can't believe it's finally here. We're so anxious but praying for the best!
QOTD: We went to the Virgin Islands for our honeymoon and loved it. Need to go back!
