Best vacation was to Ireland. I spent 2 weeks there, didn't stay in the same city for more than a day. We drove around the southern end of the country. DH had a great idea of only planning every other day, so between plans we had plenty of time to improvise.

Best vacation ever was last year when my sister surprised me with a 5 day trip to NYC- just me & her, no kids, no husbands. We stayed right in the city (midtown), ate incredible food, shopped like crazy, and strolled the streets of NYC from one end to the other. It was amazing!
Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!
1st Beta 13dpiui 54, 2nd beta 48 hours later 115, 3rd beta 48 hours later 310, 4th beta 72 hours later 1748.
Update: still on birth control pills, baseline next Monday and if all goes well stims start a week from today!
Best vacation: we took the girls to the Hilton Rose Hall resort in Jamaica last February break, it was AWESOME!!

QOTW: Best vacation you've ever been on. Alaskan cruise. It was just pure relaxation being cut off from cell and internet! Both of us got our mind off of work completely for the first and only time ever.
DS #1: April 2010
DS #2: July 2015 (preemie born at 31 weeks) - our little miracle conceived through ART - unexplained secondary infertility/adenomyosis
Best vacation so far was our trip last year to Turks and Caicos. We were so nervous about how DS would do and he was a rock star. We had a blast and it was amazing to wander around the beach and resort aimlessly for a week. We'll definitely do a similar trip in the future.
QOTW = last year's East coast vacation- Myrtle Beach, WDW, Savannah, Williamsburg
