Sorry I didn't get this out yesterday; we had guests and it was nuts around here!
Congrats to those grads who are still lurking and staying in touch! Big hugs go out to IloveShane who had a chemical pregnancy this past week. And hugs to all of us who are struggling through various 2IF issues!
Please help us remember your situation by giving a short background, and then letting everyone know your current situation.

Re: ***2IF Weekly Update (Edited)***
DH and I have been trying since we got married in December 2010. Three losses and we haven't gotten pregnant since the last one in April 2012, which was an ectopic (tube removed). Four unsuccessful months of Letrozole, including two failed IUIs. Just got AF on Wednesday, started round five of Letrozole and just waiting for cd11 ultrasound on 6/1. Praying I have follicles on my left side! I'll be starting progesterone after ovulation this cycle to help my lining stay intact, since I spot for a week or more before AF each month. Hoping that makes the difference!
QOTW: We are going to the beach in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!

We're waiting to start FET #1. I get my PGD result back on Thursday and afterwards should be starting Estrace for 2 weeks before my ET.
QOTW: We don't have any big plans, mainly because I wanted to keep ourselves free for our cycles. We have a few long weekends planned to visit family and such but nothing big.
MPZ born June 2011
TTC #2 ... Cycle 1-3: IUI = BFN | Cycle 4: IVF ... canceled but 3 snow babies
Cycle 5: FET .. BFP! | EDD - 3/15/2014
QOTW: We are going to Santee/Charleston at the end of July. We'll do a lot of swimming this summer too!
Rainbow Surprise Baby due 05/26/2017
We are going to do lots of swimming and trips to the zoo and aquarium stuff like that. We have a family lake house that I'm sure we will spend a couple weeks at as well.
We have been ttc #2 since July of 2011. One loss in January 2013 from a cycle of injectables. We are just beginning our first round of IVF. Started my BC today and go back next week when RE thinks we can begin Gonal F.
QOTW: We have a summer house on the RI shore and hoping to spend a lot of time there. We shall see what happens with this IVF cycle before we can know exactly when we can go.
Nothing new here. TTC#2 for over 2 years with MFI. We are going to retest SA (sooner or later I guess) and move on to CLomid for DH. Then we'll try to decide between IUI or adoption after we move to a new house this summer or fall.
QOTW: I think we are going to Costa Rica in August. Plans are still underway. Otherwise, it will be day trips to the beach and just summer fun in general.
Love, luck, and prayers to my BFPB Dr. SnowflakeBride
Married in 2008 - DD born Oct 2009 - TTC #2 since Aug 2010 - unexplained IF - to date we've had 6 failed IUIs. Currently waiting (not so patiently) to start an IVF cycle. Our first attempt in March was canceled because I didn't respond well to the meds (had to settle for an IUI). We were supposed to start again last week but I had a cyst at baseline u/s so we have to wait another cycle. Boo. Hoping to start with new protocol at the end of June (Chlomid, Follistim & Ganorelix).
QOTW: We are taking the week of July 4th off to do some fun things close to home and my sister, from Chicago, is going to visit for a few days that week. I wish we could go on a relaxing beach vacation but unfortunately, we can't afford that until we're done paying for IF treatments.
When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

Hope everyone's having a good week!
We tried for #2 in 2011 and took a break after that ended in m/c. We've been trying again since May 2012 with no success, letrazole/IUI. I'm currently in the 2ww. I'm trying to decide if I should test tomorrow, 13 days past trigger. It's so hard to wait!! If this month is a fail we are moving on to follistim next month. I have my injections class Thursday so that's fun! LOL
QOTW: So jealous of all these fun vacations! All of our money is going to OOP treatments so no fun travels for us this year. We'll still have some fun though!
