  Lovely! You are doing so well! We have the RE appointment on the 21st... I might have to push it another month which I really do not want to, but my aunt is getting married the next weekend and we will be going out of town again, and moneywise, I am going to have to chose one over the other. Such a hard decision!

  Still planning the one day IVF work up for mid July.  Trying to figure out if we should drive or fly to CO?  I have not flown in over ten years and we are more of the road trip type, but two full days of driving each way does not appeal so much.

  You're doing great, @designer303‌ !!
  
  @Jodee37‌ that is so annoying. I hate when FF is all like "I know your body" and then miscalculates O day. Until I started doing OPKs it was all "you have wonky luteal phases" but in reality it's like ALWAYS 11 days with the occasional 12 day just to keep me on my toes.
  
  Got DS's genetic tests back today- his chromosomes are normal. They did not yet, however, test his genes. So now we have to get another test. Maybe we can cycle in October if that comes back normal.. ARG. If it comes back with an abnormality than DH and/or I may need a test, too.

  @designer303 you're awesome! And doing a great job!
  
  I'm CD?!?!? Haven't had AF in 3+ years and stopped my meds yesterday so I'm hopeful that the bitch shows her face soon.

  After two losses, a rainbow arrived! DD born 11.5.11

  Dx with severe Asherman's syndrome after a botched PP D&C (pursuing med mal)
  

  Hysteroscopy Oct '13, not enough progress 
  

  Hysteroscopy Jan '14, given an end-of-the-road diagnosis

  Joined International Asherman's Association April '14 
  

  Not ready to give up yet.

  Hysteroscopy with Dr. Isaacson (an expert in the USA) 6.2.14: Good prognosis, at least 50% of cavity open.

  Repeat hysteroscopy scheduled with Dr. I on 6.16.14. Great progress. Unbenched!!!!

  Discussing actively TTC with DH after the heartache of the last year. We're both reeling.

   

  Please, please, please.

  @designer303 you rock!

  
  

  So my temp took a major nose dive this morning and I'm having period like cramps so I decided to test to confirm my suspicion and of course got a BFN   BOO.  I'm going to stop my progesterone so AF can start.  Even though I'm only 12dpo in the past if it was a successful cycle I would have been able to get a BFP by now.   I'm super bummed but at least I know my body and DH did the best we could last cycle.  If my body cooperates I'll do one more IUI before moving to IVF.  At least I'm on vacation with my awesome friends who will help me drown my sorrows in a ton of booze.  This sucks.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  My FF Chart:

  TTC #3 since June 2013
  BFP #1 7/21/2013--EDD 3/30/14--D&C 9/24/13
  BFP #2 1/28/14--MC 2/7/14
  IUI #1 5mg Femara + trigger = BFN
  IUI #2 5mg Femara + trigger = BFN
  IUI #3 5mg Femara + trigger = BFN

  IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!!  Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.

  FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect

  Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele

  3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15

  Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015

  2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized.  Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN

  MOVING TO ADOPTION!

  @annibes I'm sorry that there are more tests and more delays. But yay for normal chromosomes!!!
  
  @Frenchteachermama I'm so sorry about the BFN, glad you have distractions and good friends to take your mind off of it. ((Hugs))

  TTC#1 May 2009- July 2010 on our own with no luck

  Started with RE in August 2010, dx with unexplained IF and then finally our 3rd IUI cycle using Follistim and Trigger resulted in our wonderful little man.  Born 12/2/11

  TTC#2 Never really prevented, but were careful early on as Dr. reccomended

  Surprise BFP 12/16/13, started progesterone immediately as first numbers came back low, but betas were good.  Progesterone wasnt enough. Natural MC 12/24/13.

  Back with RE as of January 2014...

  5/27/14- Chemical Pregnancy

  April 2015 IVF#1

  5/13/15- BFP, please stick LO!

  Oh and I'm a major Harry Potter Nerd

  Awesome job once again.

  
  

  I've no idea what's going on this cycle. I don't know if I O'd or not. My temps look high (er) than normal, but I'm a time zone three hours ahead so I think they're just inflated because of that. I have a super faint line on the home pregnancy tests, but that means nothing for me because I have POF and low residual HCG in my system at all times. It just messes with my mind Until it gets dark, I won't rely on it. Ever. Sorry for the gripe - just having one of those frustrating fertility days. 

  
  

  Good luck to all you ladies this month. Sorry I've been a bit MIA. I'm back with family and trying to soak it all in and have fun and not stress at all about the baby making. I'll be back next week. FX those in the 2ww get some firework babies!!!

  Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)

  Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements

  March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!

  Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

  
  

  Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN
