"I DO NOT love that you think so many things revolve around you. I know you're bitter. I get it. But I'm over your feelings." The best person on the internet ever!
My Ovulation Chart
That one took me an embarrassingly long time to get before I read a 3T thread carefully enough.
BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
dx: Unexplained IF (mild MFI)
TTC since May 2011, 1 year trying, and then 3 TI, 2 IUI = BFN
IVF #1 (May 2013): Antagonist Protocol:24R, 18M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 2 early blasts, no frosties = BFN
IVF #2 (August 2013): Lupron Stop Protocol:
28R, 23M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 1 partially hatched blast, 7 frosties = BFP
EDD 5/23/14, blighted ovum (6w6d), D&C (8w6d)

OOTD(N): outfit of the day (night - less common)
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
That's my masterpiece. Hang out long enough and you'll learn I'm the resident "miss speller, horrible grammar" chick. I really do mean well. Sorry to all the teachers out there
