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.
Re: 3T Check in
Update: Had my baseline sono yesterday. Everything looked great! I have 18 antral follicles ready to go and the RE was very pleased with that. Started Femara today, will start Bravelle injections tomorrow. I'll go in after Thanksgiving for a sonogram to check progress and hopefully do my trigger shot!
QOTW: When I was growing up, we'd always go play music/sing at the Salvation Army for the folks coming in to eat lunch, then we'd go to my grandmother's for our lunch. We haven't done that in several years though. We don't really have any traditions now.. the day is usually spent shuffling between families. I hate that because I don't feel like we really get quality time with either. One of the downside of having both families in town. It's a blessing and a curse!

AFM - Had D&C this AM, and doc said she "got a lot out". I guess my body just was not accepting not being pregnant anymore. Hopefully, this does the trick, and I can finally start to heal physically. Emotionally was a bit of a struggle. As I was getting knocked out, one of the nurses told me to think of something nice to dream about. Of course, my mind went straight to holding my little boy in my arms, and I started crying as I fell asleep. Then, once I woke up, I was immediately back in tears again. So awful. Thankfully, they let my H back, which always helps calm me down and pull me out of that deep cavern of sadness. Now, I'm at home and snuggled up with DH, the fur babies, and a heating pad.
QOTW - No traditions. We kind of float around between friends and family each year. This year, we're planning to celebrate with our close friends.
DE IVF ER - 12/2/2016 (17R/10F = 8 frosties); FET 1.0 (1/27/2017) - BFP 6dp5dt (EDD 10/16/2017)
@islandmonkey8 I'm sorry the nurse isn't a great communicator and that this is being really rough on you physically.
@FutureMrsWright2012 sending lots of love your way, dear.
QOTW: just egg nog and Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

I love that parade, but it annoys DH... He always tries to change it to pre-football stuff, so I have to threaten to stop cooking to get him to change it back.

My first two betas were good (but not looking like twins). My clinic does three, so the third and final is tomorrow. I'm scared of this whole thing, but so hopeful.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
@iloveredvino still sending a million loves.
