KelB- I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that. I'm glad to see you're on the mend though. Hopefully you can get some good rest this weekend. Sending you lots of hugs and get well wishes!!
Anj- I've done 4 ivf cycles. The thing that changed with them is that first, I changed dr's, and second my dr figured out a protocol that worked for me. I had the best results with the new protocol (more eggs that were more mature and even had blasts to transfer which I never got before). It's such an inexact science that small tweaks here and there really can make a difference. Wishin you lots of luck with your next cycle!
Erin- Sounds like things are going great with the adoption process! So exciting!
Indie- It sounds like a tough decision, but go with your gut. Mine always tends to lead me in the right direction. Good luck!!
Wishing all the ladies with upcoming cycles lots and lots of luck!! 
You are all such an incredible group of women and so very supportive. You all deserve great things! And for those that haven't seen that yet I know great things are coming for you! Patience really is a virtue, isn't it?
Courtney
