    Update:  4w out from the D&C.  About a week ago I started getting negative HPTs so I was thinking (hoping) that maybe I'd get a period in another week or so.  But today I had a ton of EWCM, so who knows what's going on.  I'm not in any rush though and am just enjoying not having doctors appointments and shots to think about.

    QOTW:  Home Alone

    ETA:  Close second for favorite holiday movie is A Very Brady Christmas.

  • 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. :)

    QOTW: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will forever be one of my very favorite Christmas movie, along with the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas cartoon and the Muppet Christmas Carol.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  • 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!

    **Signature Warning**

    Dx PCOS August 2012
    Clomid x4 = BFN
    Femara+Follistim IUIs x 6 = 3 BFN, 2 C/P, 1 early miscarriage

    Second opinions are such a good idea when you are dealing with IF.  I firmly believe that if you have the opportunity you should see what another RE would do differently.  I wish we had before our second IVF.
