Yay Val! That's great. Now you can breathe a little easier knowing, having seen with your own eyes, that you ARE prego!

You should join the March Due Date board, it's under the After Fertility Treatment section -> Due Date Buddies.

Hi you guys! So happy to hear about all your and twins!! Holy cow! I miss my girls so much!

AFM - We did a natural cycle this month. I wanted to try to up my chances, so the doc did insemination (at least we washed the sperm and put in directly in the uterus). It's so much cheaper than IVF. I had two follicles the same size and we inseminated Fri, Sat and Sun. I it works. If not, we're on to IVF again next month.

for my little ones. I want to join the yoyo sisterhood!!!!!

Hi Stillwaiting! I miss you all too I don't have any real updates yet. I'm waiting for so I can get some more blood work done and start more treatments. I am actually 4 days late, but I'm terrified to test because I don't want to see another . I'll wait a few more days. It would be amazing if we got naturally after all this IVF stuff.

Hope you are doing well. Keep in touch with all your updates as well.

Stillwaiting - I start stims 9/9-ish. So psyched we're on the same exact timeframe. I was thinking of doing IUI again, cause last month I felt implantation attempting to happen (so I know DH can fertilize the eggs), but it's coming down to a numbers thing. If the RE only lets 3 follicles mature with IUI, I may be in IUI-land too long and miss the IVF window of opportunity. Decisions decisions. IVF is so intrusive to the egg/fertilization/embryo-making process. And so much money. I have until 9/9-ish to make a final decision. Do you have any thoughts? I'd love to hear them!

Cologirl - I'm for you!!!
