ME: 37, DH: 40
TTC since September, 2005 (8 yrs and 9 mos - but who's counting)
Dx: PCOS, Endometriosis, Adenomyosis
Tried to conceive naturally on just clomid off and on for several years.
IVF #1: 4-24-2014: Started an IVF Cycle on Clomid, my body didn't respond so it was cancelled.
IVF #2: 7-11-2014: BFFN
Our RE believes I have an Immune Disorder that destroys my eggs and our embryos.
We decided against any more testing or procedures with Infertility and are Happily waiting to Adopt our little one.

@Bcara11 I am so sorry! I was there on the 23rd.. Devastated as can be so I definitely know what you are going through. Please let me know if you need anything or even someone to cry too. I will be thinking about you. (((HUGS)))

I am understanding the whole "waiting is the worst part". What time did you all get fertilization reports usually? The nurse said they'd call between 9-10 but in thinking maybe she just have that estimate casually since they haven't called yet??

I was testing out my trigger and 2 days ago it started to get darker. Got a definite much darker line this am on 2 different tests. Beta is Sat so I am hoping for doubling numbers. I still can't believe this is happening.
