I actually got a positive HPT on Tuesday, but felt weirdly superstitious about posting anything before I got a beta number. My RE just called and it's 142. We're back on the pregnancy train, and just hoping we get off with a live, healthy baby this time.
We're happy, of course, but it's hard to get too excited this early given how the last pregnancy turned out. I know a good ultrasound with a heartbeat will go a long way, but we're a few weeks away from that. For now I am just keeping everything crossed for a good, appropriately increased second beta on Monday. Grow, Tater, grow!
You have all been so kind and supportive of me through this FET cycle, and before, and I cannot thank you enough for your good thoughts. Looking forward to joining some of you in the Pregnancy Check In, and sending good luck to my fellow TTCers.
EDD is January 15, 2014.

"Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing

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.

New Plan: Reciprocal IVF, me as carrier wife's eggs. Just went through insurance and received partial approval, so my part will go through my IVF benefits and wife's part will be out of pocket. Now just finalizing finance plans to cover the oop costs. Doctors office is in process of moving to a new building so there are no IVF start ups until March/April 2015.
Whoooo Hoooo! I was hoping, hoping, hoping for this post!
Can't wait to see you in on the Pregnancy Check In thread on Monday!
