    We are staying out of town at a friend's house this weekend. C is taking a motorcycle course Saturday and Sunday, which will end in her getting her license. I'm going to relax by the pool and read and probably look through some more sperm banks/donors. I might also do some geocaching in that area.

    Me: 30  DW (aka C): 29

    Together since 2/15/11 ~ Legally married in NY on 9/29/12

    ***CP mentioned***

    We've been working on baby #1 since July 2013 using Open ID donor sperm.  8 IUI attempts with 5 actual IUIs and one chemical pregnancy.  We have one fresh IVF cycle under our belts as well as a FET.  I have endometriosis and a uterine septum that was corrected via surgery in November 2013. 

    11/14/14 -  Second HSG shows that tubes are still clear and ute is looking good. 

    12/6/14 - Started BCPs in prep for IVF #2

    12/22/14 - Saline u/s and endometrial scratch (All was clear and OUCH!)

    1/2/15 - Began stimming for IVF #2

     ****All Welcome!****

    We are Mommas to four fur babies - 3 dogs and 1 cat.

    I have a midwife appointment tomorrow morning. I'm so grateful that she comes to our house on Saturdays for appointments so K and I can see her in a relaxed way, unlike when I used to have to leave work and rush to drive 2 hours to my RE's office.

    Other than that we are unwinding from our wedding weekend and taking things to goodwill so we can move in our new wedding gifts! Next project: baby room!

    Also, it is K's bday and even though she says she doesn't want to do anything (we had the party of our lives last weekend) I want to drive with her down to Big Sur and look at the ocean and the SUPER MOON! Yay! There is a place for midnight hot tubbing and I hope I can stay awake to put my feet in!

    Today was the last day of work for the summer for DW and I. Yeah!! We save our money during the school year so we don't have to work over the summer. We are just going to chill and problem walk into town for dinner.

    Saturday we have a great 30th bday to go to. It is a pool party and murder mystery party. Can't wait. It is supposed to be beautiful out.

    Sunday is another chill day. Church and relax.

    We have down time, sickness recovery, clean up, puppy cuddles, budgeting, and bill paying planned for this weekend.
    M is still sick and we both just returned from a few days in Montreal for a work conference M had to present at.
    ****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.***

    FET #1 December 2014
    Intralipid infusion on Dec 10. Transfer of 1 day 3 nine-cell embryo into my uterus on Dec. 19. (acupuncture immediately before and after)
    BFP on Dec. 27; Beta 1 Jan 2 (14dp3dt): 665, Beta 2 Jan 4 (16dp3dt): 1859, Beta 3 Jan 6 (18dp3dt): 4449, Beta 4 Jan 10 (22dp3dt): 12,251.

    DW is on duty today so I am working all day. I'm praying it stays somewhat cool in my house. We don't have air conditioning and it is supposed to be HOT today. As soon as it starts to get warm outside, I have to shut all the windows to keep the heat out-UGH!

    Tomorrow we are supposed to be getting together with friends for dinner. I'm just looking forward to spending the day with my DW. She's been working like crazy! 

    TTC our first. Married to, and madly in love with, my beautiful wife. Living with our fur baby and enjoying 19 nieces and nephews.
