07/06 - OI #3 - more stims, nine follicles, BFN
10/06 - IUI#1 - switch meds, six follicles, BFP!
11/06 - crappy betas, no heartbeat, D&C, testing shows trisomy 17

Yaaay! That's a HUGE step in the right direction! (By the way, my sister once POASed on a trans-Europe train, which might actually beat out the airplane bathroom.)
Oh, and as your comment on my blog suggested, I too have discovered the bitterness and pessimism that goes with lupron. Sheesh.
I'll be thinking happy thoughts about the little one inside you right now, and urgig it to hang on tight.
