  Hello ladies,
  
  I am having a pretty crappy day to be honest.
  
  I'm still dealing with my lining being too thick, and O seems to be nowhere in sight. I'm not really sure what to think at this point.
  
  My day started off with a BFP dream so I've been trying not to be crabby and emotional.
  
  I'm on cd25.. we'll see what happens.
  
  

  
  

  QOTW:   Have you ever met a famous person?  Who was it?
  I have not.
  
  @SnakeFisherBub - Hugs wifey. Good luck with your u/s today.
  
  @jaytee16 - love to see you around these parts

  @jaytee16‌ I'll take over, but hopefully not for long
  
  Good luck with your ultrasound @SnakeFisherBub‌. Holding your pee for those things sucks. I usually wait until 30 min before to drink all the water instead of an hour like they suggest. At worst your bladder isn't full enough & they make you wait there to it is.
  
  AFM, IUI #2 was Saturday. H's count was significantly lower than it was at our December one, but I'm trying not to worry about that right now. There were still 12.1 of his guys & that should be more than enough. Just need one. I'm waiting to hear back from my office about moving my progesterone check to tomorrow instead of Friday. Last cycle my LP was just 6 days (definitely still wonky from the m/c), so if we wait till Friday there's a good chance this cycle will be over before we even have a shot. We'll see what he says.
  
  Eta: Qotw: I met Jimmy Page at a Mardi Gras party when I was in high school.
  
  @thelostiowan‌ GL!! When is your beta?
  
  @Buttmonkey34‌ I hope the more aggressive protocol does the trick for you!
  
  @DarcyHermione‌ Sending lots of positive vibes for your consult tomorrow.
  
  @NotElsie‌ Big hugs. I'm so sorry your body isn't cooperating.

  @MeatandBandP I hope this cycle is not annovulatory. 

  
  

  
  

  AFM, I had a monitoring ultrasound today with my RE to check my lining and the Estradiol seems to working. My lining looks great so hopefully I'll hear from the fertility clinic soon on how I'm to proceed this week with my meds once they get the ultrasound and bloodwork results from my RE.

  I'm struggling this morning. I had an awesome weekend spent a lot of time with a friend since my husband was working. I felt ok this morning and while I was getting my hair done the nurse called to get me my plan for FET assuming we have good eggs. I called her this morning to tell her I started my period yesterday (what an awesome 40th bday present). She called the lab to see if the results were back for genetic testing and of course not. They said 1-2 weeks but they usually get the results back in a week, which means any day. I'll be walking around with a phone in my hand until I get the results, because I'm nervous again. To top it off tomorrow is the day I found out my first little girl no longer had a heartbeat and Friday is my due date for my second little girl. Fuck me universe!!!
  
  I just want to sit on my porch and get drunk and cry. This is really starting to get the best of me. My liver is going to be shot!

  ((((HUGS)))) @Pintobean39!

  AFM, I'm 9 DP IUI.  Meh.  Not too excited about this cycle TBH.  I feel like I'm standing in front of a wooden board that I'm trying to head butt my way through.  I've smashed my head against it 5 times already and all I have to show for it is a mother fuckin' headache.  What makes me think smashing my head into the board one more time will make a difference?

  Sorry to be Negative Nancy.  Just so over it now.

  GTKY: I've had a few brushes with fame!  I shook Jake Owen's hand at one of his concerts, got a pat on the back from a New Kid (Donny, I think - C is a super fan), got a wave and a wink from Tim McGraw as he walked through the crowd to the stage, and best of all, got to meet Ben Folds!  It was after his concert and he was signing autographs.  He shook my hand and asked me how I was and, 10 year old girl style, I giggled and said "You're my faaaaaaaaaaaaavorite!!!!"  Everyone around me laughed and I turned bright red.  C snapped a photo of me keeling over while Ben Folds was cracking up and my cheeks are fire engine red.  I love, love, love that picture I also took a video of him walking toward me because I'm creepy like that.

  I'm still on hiatus while I wait for my next IVF cycle in August. I have started seeing an acupuncturist who specializes in infertility. Maybe it will help, maybe it won't. If we get a BFP this cycle without meds it will be nothing short of a miracle. I'm always rooting for all of you!

  I forgot my famous person. John Goodman I guess is the most famous person I meet. He married a girl I knew her brother had a crush on me. I saw him at his baseball games. One night the BIL decided to throw a party at his house when we were in high school while they were out of town. I guess he was trying to impress everyone so he opened the liquor cabinet and we all got drunk. My friend threw up in their bed. I had fun playing with baby monitors throughout the house. They had a teddy bear signed by Bruce Willis, we thought that was awesome. I was gone before the cops showed up thank God!!! We were young and stupid.

  Holy shit, I have an update! I just talked to the fertility clinic and they said since my lining looked good, they can thaw the donor eggs on Wednesday and do IVF #1 next Monday! I wasn't expecting things to move quite so quickly. I thought for sure we were looking at a July transfer. I am both nervous and excited. I'll start Progesterone injects tomorrow.
