I think I'm on CD 14 or so. Life has been turned upside down the past 2 weeks so we're dealing with all that at the moment. In the meantime, I'm hoping that I O again and am trying to consistently temp, but we'll see. The ever sweet SparkingDiamond sent me some OPKs so I'll probably start using those in the next several days.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermQOTW: Christmas Vacation
So much love to all of you!!!
Wishing so much luck to you poppies, xan and cecilia!
Waiting here to see if I have a cycle on my own (never happened in 2 years off bcp so not super hopeful). Then chromosome/karyotyping and another HSG and whatever other testing RE thinks we should do. Thinking about stepping down to Femara and trigger Jan-March due to Mr's schedule. Injects really cause a lot of issues and I don't want to go through all that not knowing Mr will be around (lots of travel this time of year).
We may look into a different RE for a second opinion or even micro IVF next spring. Not sure if we're ready to take the full plunge to IVF just yet. The way I get mild OHSS off small amounts of injects makes me super nervous for a full cycle.
Home Alone, Love Actually and The Grinch (original) are the best!
Cinco, I'm suuuuuper excited for continued goodness with Lu!!
Poppies, eeeep!! So exciting to have everything on hand to start and that it was all covered!
Cecilia, I'm sorry you have to go to IVF, but I really hope this works for you.
Aim, boooo AF coming.
RAB, FX you O again!
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
I'm also on antibiotics.
So I'm hoping that I can be a normal person and accidentally get KU. Lol.
But really, no news, as usual.
I LOVE The Holiday with Claire Danes and Kate Winslet.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
I thought it was Cameron Diaz and Kate winslet ?
