Re: 3T Check In
QOTW: sundress, dressy flip flops, sunglasses.
No updates for me.
QOTD- I love my Lilly maxi dresses or some fun shorts and a plain t shirt. I wear my Rainbows just about every day.
Just waiting now. I go in for betas on 7/3. I'm trying to see how long I can hold out to take a test at home, and will hopefully take it the day before.
OOTW: sundresses and sandals. I wear them about every day to work because they are dress code appropriate, and it's way too hot for pants all summer!

@abt8113 - how many days past iui are you??? So sooooon! FX for you!!!
Update: Not much, I O'd, had acupuncture last night...
QOTW: I wear sundresses a lot in the summer. It's the only thing that feels good on me in the heat.
FFC: I found out my acupuncturist is 19 weeks PG. She didn't tell me exactly but I heard her say it to the client after me because the client noticed. I didn't realize until I actually looked at her. So my FFC, I feel a litttttle bit jealous and hate myself for it because she doesn't deserve my jealousy. She is an amazing and supportive woman so I am more happy for her than anything else.
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~

Yay @poppies717!!
GL @abt8113!!
Update - not much. I have a consult with another RE in the clinic on Tuesday so I'm super nervous about that. DH and I discussed and while we want to be responsible, of course, we also want to be sure she knows that we're completely ok with a higher chance of multiples since this is our last shot so we're ok with pushing the envelope just a tiny more. I'd like to have at least 1-2 more decent range follies before IUI. I'm anxious to see what her thoughts are though preparing myself to be shot down. I mean, I don't want 8, but at this point, we'd take whatever we could get to be honest. That said, we're probably still a couple months out before we could proceed with anything anyway. I will be asking for Provera at this appointment anyway.
QOTW - shorts, tshirts, and flip flops.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
@RockABye good luck with the new RE! Hope you are able to get started soon!

@RockABye - good luck with the new RE Tuesday!
@RockABye GL with the new RE! (And 8 would be crazy...)
@RockABye - I am crossing everything that the new RE has a plan for you - even if it means 8 little RABs.

I still have some tissue left from the miscarriage. Which means our FET is bring pushed back.
#%£+&@$%#!
He's hoping another cycle will flush everything out, because it doesn't look too serious but enough to stop him from implanting more babes. I'll repeat another sono in a month and hopefully won't have to schedule a D&C at that point.
Fuck all the pregnants.

Yay Poppies, Sewilson, RAB and Abt...fingers crossed the luck keeps coming!!!!
Update: Thyroid bloodwork was awesome, still staying on the synthroid for now but the level came so far down and was awesome at a 1.17
A lot of drama going on at both mine and DH's work...some awesomeness and in my case some completely in the shitter.....might mean putting IVF on hold
QOTW....i love capris and maxi dresses and skirts.....this year though i have expanded my wardrobe since I'm thinner than i was last year and more confident?
