  Thanks, @JGY. Wait is tough, for sure.  I've been trying to ignore the testing and the wait.  Every day I mostly want to get on the board and post something like: "AHAGHGHGH!!!!! WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!  WHY IS THIS SO HARD AND WHY IS IT OUT OF OUR HANDS AND WHAT WILL WE DO IF IT IS NEGATIVE AND HOW CAN WE GO FORWARD AND OF COURSE WE WILL BUT IT WILL BE SO HARRRRD!"  Every day. A couple times a day.  I try not to ask my sweet wife how she feels every 32 minutes.  

  
  

  DW goes in for her beta this Thursday. We'll keep everyone posted. Thanks so much for thinking of us.

  @CageyMack - I was on BCP before we started TTC after a self diagnosis of endo.  I stopped them about a month or two before we met with our RE in anticipation of getting started and wanting the hormones to be out of my body.  Had I known what I know now, I would have insisted on IVF initially and put those BCPs to even better use.  Oh well.  A journey is a journey and we each have our own. 

  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.
