    @mjacks16 good luck tonight and tomorrow!!

    TTC for 8 years.
    Started in 2008 with timed intercourse, ovulation testing, no official monitoring.
    OB-GYN recommended Clomid and timed intercourse, attempted for 6 straight months.
    First surgery June 2009 (OB-GYN): diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and large hydrosalpinx on right tube.
    Second surgery (July 2009, RE performed this): Right tube had to be removed, lots of adhesions removed.
    Attempted "trying on our own" as per RE recommendations, unsuccessful 5-6 months.
    HSG performed December 2009: left tube open.
    February 2010: started Femara and timed intercourse, attempted 6 months, no BFPs.
    Took a break for a while.
    January 2011: started IUI process, ovaries never properly responded to medications, 6 failed attempts, never actually completed an IUI.
    Took 2012-2014 off due to depression and frustration (side note: did complete grad school to become a nurse practitioner- great distraction).
    2015: started seeing RE again, went through tons of testing and HSG, left tube now blocked, only option is IVF.
    September 2015: Started first official IVF cycle, cancelled in October due to large cyst on left ovary.
    October 2015: started on birth control for 2 months.
    December 2015: attempted to start another IVF cycle, cysts on both ovaries on initial ultrasound, left was huge, cancelled to aspirated cyst.
    January 2016: Cyst back, surgery for ex-lap, cyst and adhesions removed.
    March 2016: Attempted second IVF cycle, estrogen way too high, cyst back, cancelled again.
    April 2016: Third attempted IVF cycle, 7 eggs retrieved, 2 mature (but not great) embryos made to fresh transfer, neither implanted.
    May-Sept 2016: Break to regain sanity.
    Sept-Oct 2016: Attempted fourth IVF cycle, very successful, cyst still on left but we ignored. 7 mature "great looking" eggs retrieved, 4 mature embryos made it to day 5 transfer. Transfer aborted due to large amount of endometriosis fluid in uterus.
    FET of 2 embryos completed on 12/12/16.
    12/22/16 1st Beta 179 BFP!!!
    12/24/16 2nd Beta 449!!
    EDD 8/30/17 with two girls!!!!!

    Audrey (4lb 8oz) and Olivia (6lb 6oz) born 8/10/17!!

    @oxinfree hopefully the exercises will help turn that baby. The birth ball helps my lower back feel so much better too! Do you have something in your area called spinning babies? I wasn't sure if it was a local thing here but apparently they hold groups and individuals sessions and show you specific exercises to help turn baby. 

    @byrneme hope you enjoy the pedicure and upcoming massage!

    @mjacks16 wishing you a smooth delivery! So exciting!

    Well my labs came back normal, no UTI or preeclampsia! I'm just going to try to relax for the next 2 weeks and hopefully things will start to progress!

    @ARB425 - I'll have to look into spinning babies... I've heard a few ppl mention it now, but a quick search showed the next local workshop isn't until after my due date haha. But I'll look into it online and do more research. My chiro does some things to try and help with it too, but he he's a stubborn fella ;)

    @Hopeful_mom - wish you were at a point in your journey where you were here with us as well. I know it's heartbreaking to watch others move on and constantly feel left behind, but I'm praying that your little miracle is coming soon <3 thinking of you <3
