  This is my first posting, I'm in the 2ww with a beta test on 7/30/13. This is my 3rd iui attempt, praying for a positive result. We have been ttc for 7 months. We haven't told family and friends that we are ttc, so it gets a bit lonely not having someone to talk with about my concerns and disappointments.

  I'm 7dp5dt and still haven't tested.  I can't believe the level of restraint I've had!  I just keep telling myself that with my loss history it doesn't matter what the hpt says anyway.  It's the beta that's more important!  Let's hope I can make it through the next 3 first morning urine's before beta on Monday!

  
  

  QOTD: I'm lame and just have a windows background

   

  IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.

  Hey Fireflies!

  
  

  I am on day 9 of stims today. They can see at least 6 follies most of which are measuring at 13 right now.  Loots like ER will be Wednesday.  E2 level was 92, increased my menopur went up to 246, today it was 968.  Looks like I'm getting ready.  What should I expect the day of my retrieval? 

  
  

  So excited to see all the BFP!  Gives me hope.  Hugs to those who need them.

  Hi Ladies - mind if I join?
  
   Picture on my desktop is one of my son sitting on the couch mesmerized by the football game on TV - we thought it was adorable the way he has a slight smile on his face (He was about 6 months old wearing nothing but a turtleneck onesie - so cute!)
  
  This is IVF #1 for this pregnancy. had ER on Friday 7/26, with 13 fertilized eggs - SO Happy (with my son we only had 4, of which they transferred 2 on Day3). Not sure if we are doing our transfer tomorrow or Wednesday.
  
  Good luck to everyone!

  Hi Ladies - sorry for the late check in... looks like a lot is going on for the July Fireflies.
  
  I had my first egg retrieval (of a 3 cycle IVF/Embryo Banking Plan) on Friday. We got 3 eggs. I was hoping for 5, but at my last ultra sound the nurse thought that the other two were still too small. So she was right. The good news was that all 3 fertilized with ICSI.  I am praying that they continue to grow and thrive. If the embryos make it to day 5, the Dr. will biopsy them and freeze them for PGS.  As soon as I get my period we will move on to retrieval cycle #2. 
  
  I hope you are all having a good weekend!
  
  QOTW - my desk top has a photo from a vacation we took to Cabo San Lucas.  And my laptop has a close up of my dog!

  I can't seem to leave you gals either! 
  
  Things are going ok over here.  Beta #3 came back >10,000 and at the first U/S last Friday I saw a HB going stong @106bpm.  (I was 5w6d)  It's really hard to get truly excited though-  If brain is still in full effect.  Next u/s is this coming Friday.
  
  QOTD:  My computer died (or was killed....by a spilled mug of tea thanks to one of the cats) so I'm using DH's, and his desktop background is a picture of Christina Hendricks (the busty red head from Mad Men, lol)
