Just wanted to stop by and let you know I"m cheering you on! No ttc in this house for a while. I wouldn't mind, but we definitely just can't afford another little one right now.

Anyway, cheering from the sidelines for your BFP!!!

Well I got my period today...I think...pink spotting last night, red this morning, not enough to fill a pad all day long, sorry if TMI, and then tonight it Just stops...my nurse thinks it is probably my period coming on so no more progesterone and waiting for the evil witch to show up full force. Thursday I go in for an u/s and a hysteroscopy to check a "bump" they saw near my cervix last time, and then will take a month off to restart metformin and give my body a chance to get ready for the next round, probably starting in early December...so hoping and praying for a Christmas miracle!

I feel like I should not be sad, mad, or crying over these last two tries since I already have my miracle baby and so many other women don't even have one baby and I want to be selfish and try for another one...anyone else out there feeling like this?

We're starting IVF for baby #2 the first cycle after her January birthday (the pills made me sick last time) - do the pre-testing/trial transfer this December.

The hard part for me is I have to wean her soon to prepare.
