That's awesome news Arj! What did you do to get it on track?
"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!
@rockabye hugs to you too!
@ILoveRedVino yay for FET coming up! How are you feeling?
@arj14 yay for AF! Did you make any changes to get it to come earlier?
@islandmonkey8 good luck with teaching and injects!

FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
So... I guess I'm back, and while I have been rooting for you ladies, I was so hopeful that I had finally graduated.
@RockABye - can you re-add me as follows: "NTNP since 8/2010. TTC since 3/2012. Dx DOR, poss. clotting issues. IUI + Clomid x 2 = BFN. IVF #1 = BFP; loss of our baby boy at 18 weeks. Getting mind and body ready for probable IVF#2 in 2015."
Update: You all have seen the story of my loss, so I won't rehash that here. We did meet with our RE yesterday though to see if he had any idea about WTF happened... No luck, at least not anything solid. We're still waiting on baby's chromosomes, but having seen him and how big he was, I am really doubtful that that was it. The only other possibility is really a theory that involves some sort of clot/blood issue. I'm getting my AMH rechecked in a couple of weeks, and then we'll decide on a plan moving forward. If AMH is the same or lower, I'll be on FSH suppression for 3-5 months before we try again with IVF. If I am lucky enough to get pregnant again, RE is keeping me on heparin to 30 weeks and monthly intralipid infusions until 20 weeks (previously was on heparin until 11 weeks and intralipid infusion x 1). Truthfully, I'm scared to death and am not counting on being ready to try again until Spring/Summer anyways.
QOTW: My mom made me a ladybug costume when I was 8 or 9 that I loved.
@Bruinsbabe33 - Hope your referral situation gets figured out soon! GL!
@ILoveRedVino - So excited for your upcoming FET!!! Hope the next couple of weeks fly by for you!
@arj114 - Congrats on a more typical cycle... Hoping for the same with your next cycle, too!
@islandmonkey8 - Eeeek! So exciting! Hope your injects teaching goes great and gives you the confidence you need to get started!
@poppies717 - Hooray for the home study officially being completed! Sending you tons of positive vibes as you work on that letter!
DE IVF ER - 12/2/2016 (17R/10F = 8 frosties); FET 1.0 (1/27/2017) - BFP 6dp5dt (EDD 10/16/2017)
@poppies717 I'm sure writing the letter is extremely difficult! Hope you are able to put how you feel in words!
