aim So much love to you lady
you are an amazing woman and I cant wait to hear more about reggie and olaf 
Bruins silly girl welcome back lady
heavy heart though obviously 
Poppies: SO excited for you!
I.....I don't even know.....I'm glad I waited till today to post here. DH had his third SA (reminder: March SA 1 with OBGYN: 2.5 mil, June SA 2 with RE ZERO and a bad overall sample) Today was supposed to be a sample and a cryo freeze.
DH sent me a message saying that he barely got anything in the cup..he just freezes....so this is the second time this has happened. Not to mention we didn't find out till he showed up that they only cryo for 6 months so I only have 6 months to get down to the 191 lbs needed to do a cycle with my RE. really before 6 months because we'll have to start the process before the 6 months is up
So not only did we just pay $350 for a freeze that if there aren't any sperm I want given back to us or credited.....we may again have no sperm....I think its time to suck it up and transfer to the RE that is closer (the one at BI Plymouth for those MA girls) so that we can do SA samples at home and again see the 2.5 mil we had seen before..... I just don't know what to do
Sobbing phonecalls to the RE and my OB who made the referral happened this morning I'm just waiting for one of them to call me back 
He's depressed, so am I...:(
I feel like you girls need a cupcake if you made it through that
QOTW: I want to get into fall decorating more....I started this year by getting pretty owl towels

Keeping you in my thoughts. We often forget that the guy goes through stress during this process too. I hope you and your hubby can find a solution that works to get you back in the 2.5 range. {{Hugs}}

Welcome back to TTC Bruins! I call dibs on any multiples.
Nothing going on here, we are getting fingerprinted this weekend for foster adopt.
"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!
Update: Last week I got my period on my own, so I was excited by that. I also opened our savings account for any treatment we might pursue. The diet is completely off the rails since our kitty passed on Monday.
@Rockabye, could you add me to the list? TTC since August 2013, DX PCOS 7/14, trying diet changes while saving up for any future treatment. (Thank you!)

Thank you for the support RE: meds. They're okay so far. I don't like the fuzzy feeling.
