  Thanks @ellebelle2384 for doing an awesome check in!!!
  @Frenchteachermama FX for a great E2!!!
  
  I am on week 2 of BCPs. I have my suppression check on the 21st and then I take my last bcp on the 23rd. I start my meds on on the 27th! I want this show on the road so I can stop worrying about the what ifs and see how I respond to such a conservative dose.
  
  QOTW: both obviously!!! If I had to choose though, definitely coffee

  Thanks! I did not trigger and I have ZERO tests in my house! If I had tests I'm sure it would be a lot harder not to pee on things but making the effort to go buy them makes it easier not to POAS!

  I started my bcp last Wednesday. Today I went in for the saline sonogram/ultrasound. I think the next thing I do is start Lupron on the 23rd. 

  
  

  QOTW: I love all kinds of tea. Hot and Iced.  However, if I really need a caffeine fix I will get some coffee. 

  
  

  @Frenchteachermama FX for a great E2 result

  Thanks, ladies.
  
  Cycle Status: On BCPs until 8/18.  I start Lupron on 8/12 and then continue it until they tell me to stop.  They'll know more whenever I get my period and then go in for blood work. 
  
  QOTW: I'm a sucker for Starbucks Frappucinos.  I like Earl Grey tea too but definitely need that coffee to wake me up.

  CD 17. Natural cycle. We are strongly considering doing a cycle of IVF in a few months. I meet with the RE on Friday. 

  
  

  I love tea! Recently I have started to drink coffee on occasion but I have 2-3 cups of tea a day.

  Status: I have my wrap-up meeting with the RE next Thursday. I expect that there is nothing more for me to do to conceive a child, so now it will be convincing DH to look to adoption and fostering. I don't know if our hearts can handle either, so we are in no rush.

  
  

  QOTW: Coffee. Must have coffee. I love me some iced tea too, but I will take coffee any day.

  A) We do not have ute goggles.
  5 months with no known issues is no reason to worry
  C) Please check in on the Trying to Conceive a Sibling Board instead.

  I am waiting to attempt IVF cycle 3... going for BW on Friday to see if I have ovulated. If so, I will start an estrogen med so I can start injections on CD2 of my next period.
  
  QOTW: I don't like coffee or hot beverages in general, but I love iced tea. I guess I like hot chocolate...yum!

  Why on earth would you post something like this on a board of women who have major infertility problems?  5 months?  It can take a normal healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant.  Go somewhere else.  Bye bye.

  So, it's been awhile.  It's good to "see" everyone (actually, I'm sorry you're all still here, but you know what I mean).
  
  @flamingemu, I'm sorry you're in such a tough place.  I hope the appointment is helpful to you.  Hugs.
  
  Good luck to everyone gearing up for IVF, and FX for you @NB817.
  
  I had my ER for a freeze-all cycle on Saturday.  11 eggs fertilized normally.  I'll get calls today and tomorrow letting me know what made it for freezing and testing, but I'm pretty sure I'll be cycling again before sending everything out for CCS.  At my age, I imagine it takes a lot of eggs to find a normal...
  
  
  ETA QOTW.  Tea, all the tea!  Coffee gives me insomnia no matter how early in the day I drink it, and I feel like I smell like coffee for days afterward.
