QOTW: What is your favorite comfort food? Burgers!
My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
SAIF: We've started baby cereal and B is doing great. I thought G would be more into it since he's my chunky monkey, but I guess eating is more work than a bottle and well, he's a boy... lol They both just get cuter and cuter! There is never a day I regret using donor embryos. Regardless of their genetics, they are my children.
QOTW: Uh, all food? lol I'm a piggy. Pizza, cookies, ice cream, coffee, brownies, etc.

If you're wondering about my avatar...it's a fried pickle chip shaped like a fetus!
After some lurking, I'd like to be added to this check in. My husband and I are in Canada. After two failed IVF treatments and suspected egg quality issues, we are actively pursuing and researching both egg and embryo donation - likely in the US or Europe. We are still in the process of contacting (multiple) clinics and getting price quotes, success rates, and details, and likely won't make the actual trip until Summer 2015. I would LOVE to connect with others on this journey, as I find it mind boggling so far - particularly anyone who is/has considered 3rd Party reproduction in the Czech Republic.
Anyways, sorry for the long-ish intro.
QOTW: My favourite comfort food is probably Kraft Dinner... or possibly a Nestle Caramel Drumstick!
Reserved a semi-known proven donor in August .
Waiting for consult/screening and protocols with estimated fresh cycle timing in October
@mm29- I'm sorry about your donor backing out. Hopefully she will have a change of heart.
@Sassmaster33- Good luck on donor US!
@1220winterbride- I'm glad you're feeling so well! I hope that's how it is for me!
@DoublePortion- I can't believe your babies are already on solid food!
Jzyla- Welcome!
AFM: I have my baseline ultrasound tomorrow. With that also comes the estrogen patches and suppositories.
QOTW: I like most carbs.
TTC #1 since May 2010
OE IVF #1 9/2/13 Cancelled- poor response
DE IVF #1 3/12/14- BFP 3/17/14- ectopic, right tube removed 4/11/14 @ 7 weeks
DE FET #1 7/3/14-Transferred 2 5AA 6 day embryos Beta 7/13/14 BFN
DE FET #2 9/5/14-Transferred 2 4BB 5 day embryos Beta 9/15/14 BFN

DE FET #4 - last 2 frosties....5/22/15- Transferred 1 4BA embryo...only one frostie thawed properly. Beta scheduled for 6/1- BFN (beta 2, 2.81, 6, 23, 49.4) 6/15/15 Discovered ectopic in left tube. Methotrexate given. Moving on to a new donor. Hoping to transfer by the end of the year.
Cant find a donor that is healthy and available. Looking at being happy with just the two of us.
Me: well I went in for my u/s and bw on cd12 expecting to have iui on cd13 and I was told my estrogen count is still too low so I am going back in the morning to recheck everything. Hopefully I'll do trigger tomorrow night and iui #5 later this week.
Qotw: being a southern girl my comfort food is thing like: fried squash, country fried steak, corn bread and rice and gravy..... Pretty much everything that we should never eat!
Have a great week!
***PAIF***XP from PAIF***
I am 13 weeks tomorrow and still in disbelief about this whole thing! I'm working with quite a team of doctors thanks to my autoimmune disease (Sjögren's). I am currently seeing an OB, MFM, Rheumatologist & an eye doctor to get things squared away. I was never happier to graduate from the RE, and made the decision last week to stop treatment with Dr. KK. I appreciate what she has done for me, but it was to the point where the stress was outweighing the perceived benefits. I listened to my gut, and hope that I don't regret that decision!! I will have my NT scan on Thursday & think that should be pretty telling.
QOTW: I can't seem to get enough of chicken salad sandwiches these days. And strawberries and ice cream

Just wanted to say thank you guys for being out there and understanding.
Found out today that 3 teachers I work with are pregnant. Been rough day. Having fertility issues simply sucks! This whole struggle sucks. No one understand but us. Just feeling defeated.
Ok I will now put my big girl panties on and suck it up.
Thanks for letting me vent!!
