Re: 3T Check In
QOTW: doggy style, or missionary when I'm lazy!
Aw: see my post from yesterday. DH sent me a text this morning saying he loves my smile. So sweet!
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
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

C.J. born 01/09/15
QOTW: Cosmo calls it "On The Edge" basically he stands at the side of the bed and I lie on my back and hang over a tiny bit.
FFC: I really want DH to go back on a diet with me. 1, I will feel better about myself but when he loses weight he stops snoring and wants to have sex more. So I'm being a little selfish in this situation but lack of sleep and lack of sex makes a very cranky woman.
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
@abt113 Good luck with Clomid! I hope this is exactly what you need.
Update: 14DPO and a negative test this morning. I've been spotting since a few days after O though, so heck if I know what my body is doing. I'm fulling expecting full fledged AF in the morning.
Just going to continue the PCOS/Gluten-Free diet. H is really sad about the negative tests. He even looked over my chart multiple times saying, "but our timing was perfect." He's taking it a lot harder than I thought he would, but I just keep telling him that not all people get pregnant on the first cycle. So it's okay. Then he reminds me that it's been a year and this isn't our first cycle, just one of our first ones with a chance.
QOTW: Favorite sex position? Doggy style-ish. Where I lay all the way down. ;-)FFC/AW of the Week (no rules): FFC, I'm going to eat a reuben on Monday for St Paddy's day. Screw you PCOS/GF diet. You didn't give me a baby this time, so I'm going to eat gluten!

I had a great conversation with the nurse RE: IvF and had some questions answered. We would start cycling in May the day of our 5th anniversary.
I'm excited to try something new, but still holding out hope. 6th times the charm, right?
Sending good vibes out to you all.
Sewilson33- good luck with your appointment!
Abt8113- lots of luck with clomid. I hated it but fingers crossed it is just what you need.
Update: Nothing new here. I was supposed to have my annual tomorrow and then schedule my surgery but my obgyn had to go out of town suddenly so that got rescheduled until next Friday.
QOTW: Maybe I'm boring but I like missionary. I also have an orgasm every.single.time we do missionary so I guess that's why it is my favorite.

My Ovulation Chart
3T ruined sex for me. I don't enjoy it unless I'm drunk.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
DE IVF ER - 12/2/2016 (17R/10F = 8 frosties); FET 1.0 (1/27/2017) - BFP 6dp5dt (EDD 10/16/2017)
So, sorry for being MIA for a few months - I posted maybe 5 months back a lot but have been extremely busy with work and my husband's landscaping company. As an update --
DH has been getting more used to the idea of having a baby. It still sucks to not be exactly on the same page but at least now he is comfortable with talking about it and even brings things up himself sometimes which really blows my mind
We have discussed names, what we would do for childcare, and a few other things. Countdown to having a "big serious talk" in 4 months!! So we will see where we are then, I think its going to come down to finances and how his company is going, which is growing at super warp speed atm.
Savings is going well. We recently bought my MIL's old SUV for me to drive because she bought a new one, and DH sold the truck I was driving which put a few more dollars in the old coffee can so to speak:) So I'm happy about that.
To sum up, again I am so sorry ladies for the lapse - I think I just needed some time away for awhile and I REALLY know you all understand that.<3 I hope to still be involved in this board because a few months ago it was a lifeline for me for awhile when things were more difficult!!
Also- Next Monday I'm going to my annual exam with a new doctor an hour away with better healthcare and is an OB/GYN. A little nervous but I plan to bring genetic history, questions, etc. Hopefully everything checks out - I am hopeful.
♥ my furbabies:) ♥
