  Our last bump shot before this one was at 17 weeks because of all the stress and chaos of the last few weeks. But here's @Manada's wonderful twin belly at 20 weeks!

  image.jpg 385.3K

  ****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.

  My best friend and I met 11 years ago this week. We immediately fell in "best friend love". We both come from small towns in Kentucky, born in the same month, have been neighbors, roommates, co-camp counselors, and he was my best person when I got married! Luckily for me he understands my gender queerness in a rare and wonderful way... This week he told me he is clearing his calendar for January to come and stay for a week after Squints is born! Here's a retrospect collage!

  My side project during my maternity leave has been to post a daily pic of Charley with a movie quote to facebook and instagram since I'm a film junkie and it's a good way to still feel creative in between the bottles and diaper changes. 

  
  

  Not sure how long I'll be able to keep it up once I return back to work, but so far I haven't missed a day.
  

  
  

  These are two of my favorites so far

  I haven't decided yet @StacyLH24. We always say we are going to wait for the beta but then we end up at store buying some. L tends to be the impatient one. She would probably force me to POAS everyday if she could I'm thinking we will test. The 20th seems so far away!

  I couldn't get this to work all day..until now. the bump hates me. The tech turned on the 4d the other day during the u/s, she really wanted a pic of his face for some reason and was really bothered that she couldn't get one. This was as good as we got. He was being shy and didn't want anyone to see his cute little nose.
