♫ Alvin, Simon...Noodlegirl ♪

So, today I'm wearing my hair in pigtails. Not even real pigtails, but those kind that don't get pulled all the way through and look like buns on each side. I fear I look like Theodore the Chimpmunk's girlfriend, Eleanor (aka the Chunky Chipette):

The reason I'm sporting this 'do? 1) It's easy and 2) I fear that subconsciously I am channeling a hairdo I saw some ladies wear on The Biggest Loser a couple of weeks ago and some drug-addled part of my brain filed in the "I Don't Care How I Look Today" cabinet.

Who's the biggest loser now?

TTC history

• Dec 2009: IVF #3 (or 2.5). 12/19: transferred 4 embies - two 8-cell HIP, one 7-cell high grade, one 4-cell medium grade. BFP! Great betas. 1st u/s at 6 weeks shows two gestational sacs but we lose Baby B at 7.5 weeks. Baby A is going strong as of the 8w2d u/s on 1/29. Final u/s with RE at 10 weeks on 2/10. Have never made it to 10 weeks, please please please!
• Nov 2009: IVF #2. 3 follies in the race, cancelled due to my body ovulating on its own, despite antagonist protocol.
• Sept 2009: So much for fairytales. 10-week u/s showed no heartbeat on 9/9. D&E scheduled for 9/11. Not sure we will continue TTC.
• HOLY CRAP: July 29 2009. Not trying, drinking pina coladas, eating horrible foods, going mountain biking. Natural BFP!!! Beta #1 (15dpo): 299. Beta #2 (20dpo): 2087. 6-week u/s looks great.
• July 2009: taking a break for the summer. Detox from all the meds. Allow an August cruise vacation to happen without the stress of TTC timing. Plan would be for IVF #2 in September
