    Do you have your donor selected already? Or do you even get to pick with frozen eggs there? What's the rest of your schedule?

    I didn't realize you were already starting meds - good luck!!

    We are decorating our Christmas tree! My husband cut it down last weekend, and it's in the living room, so we're finally getting it ready to go for the holidays. Crazy that Christmas is now less than two weeks away.

    Yes, I picked a donor a few weeks ago! Her eggs are already frozen waiting for me in Atlanta. I've been on lupron since last Saturday. I had to deal with the lab closure for the holidays so that's why we added BCP to delay things until the lab reopens on 1/6. Assuming my lining cooperates, the thaw will be 1/6 with ET 1/11.

    I'll be making 5 dozen cookies at some point tonight or tomorrow to take to a Christmas Concert tomorrow evening. I'll try to make myself wrap gifts too. Maybe while the cookies are in the oven. It's overcast and drizzly here so I'm having a hard time working up the energy to do anything except watch L&O:SVU reruns. I'm sure I've seen them all but I usually forget the endings.

    Failed cycles cause me to spend money! Hege. We did some retail therapy with a new living room set (I'm so sick of saving....it's time to enjoy what we work so hard for) and a new water heater (that was a need because 6 minute hot showers were not cutting it). And I talked DH into baking and decorating cookies with me and am shocked he agreed. He still feels bad about all the crap we've been going through so anything to make me happy ;)
    TTC 2 years- Me and DH (28) with (severely) low sperm count- less than 40 total (last 2 SA showed only 5 and 6 sperm each)
    IVF #1: ER 1/23/13- 4 eggs retrieved, 3 eggs fertilized; ET with 1 embryo 1/28/13 2 frosties beta #1 2/5 was 4.8- beta #2 2/7 3.5; BFN
    FET #1- transferred one beautiful 4AA embie. Praying this is my take home baby. Beta 5/7/13- BFFN!!!
    IVF #2: ER 7/17/13: 6R/3F- transferred 1 blast and 1 10 cell embryo 5dt.   Beta hell.  #1 2.5, #2 2.2- BFFFN! REALLY?
    IVF #3: ER 12/1 and only 2 retrieved.  1 fertilized with ICSI.  Was planning on transferring one fresh and one frozen....fresh was only 14 cells at day 5...CANCELLED and devastated due to 5cm blood filled cyst in ovary and blood in uterus.
    IVF #4: Antagonist protocol with endometrial scratch day one of stims.  ER 4/21: 6R/4M/3F- transferred 2 beautiful blasts (5dt) and one was hatching!  No frosties but hoping we won't need it!  Beta 5/4/14- 444(8dp5dt), Beta #2 10dp5dt 1002!  THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT!!!!!!!!!!  First US 5/15 we saw two of the most beautiful gestational and yolk sacs I have ever seen!  
    ****FINALLY PREGNANT WITH DI/DI TWINS!!!!!!!  

    BRINLEY AND RILEY LONG.  Born November 20, 2014 at 32 wks 3 days.  4lbs7oz and 4lbs5oz.  1 month NICU time for "B's" and growing and feeding.  Now healthy, thriving, beautiful little girls!

     Hi ladies! Sorry I am so late to this. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

     It has been a lazy weekend here. My Estrace dosage got upped to 3x a day... cue headaches, insomnia, and bloat. I don't remember feeling this gross during our past FETs. Wishing I could hibernate on my couch for these next few weeks. I have my final e2/lining check on Friday. If everything looks good - we'll be on track for our FET on the 26th. Fingers crossed!

    @liz4paws GL at your U/S tomorrow! So exciting! :)


    It's twin girls!! Born on 11-2-14!
