HappyAuntie--what nice looking blasts, including the frowning one! That one looks like it is a no nonsense type of egg that is not going down without a fight, lol.
I don't blame you for transferring three. I'd definitely want to maximize my chance for a bfp at all costs too. In the very unlikely circumstance you have triplets, you can deal with that later.
You ladies are so lucky to have such great insurance!!
Ready, Milty: My insurance sucked before the health care law and it continues to suck afterward, not just for fertility but for everything. I work for state government, so they are really struggling trying to keep their insurance plan solvent since our pool tends to be older. It's so bad that I'd be better off just saving my premiums and paying everything out of pocket if it weren't for the possibility that I get into an accident or get diagnosed with cancer or something.
I get no fertility coverage at all for infertility, except that it does pay 80% for the diagnosis after paying a $1000 deductible. It sucks that I started my treatments near the end of the year because I'm going to have to pay another $1000 next year--except now the deductible has gone up to $1500.
The health care law has had mixed results for me. The big hit for me was the change they made to the health care spending accounts. They lowered the max you can put away from $4000 or so to $2500. That one really hurt.
However I have seen some benefits to the health care law. It didn't stop my premiums from rising and benefits from shrinking, but I do appreciate not having to pay a copay for preventative health care. Also, my dh is self-employed, so we're hoping that if this thing works the way they say it's supposed to, he can get better, more affordable insurance through the exchanges instead of having to rely solely on my crappy insurance.
AFM: I'm done with my first round of fertility drugs and I'm officially in the 2ww! I took my 100 mg of Clomid on days 3-7. The first three days I was worried it wasn't working because I didn't feel any side effects at all but then I got slammed on days 6 and 7 with severe headaches, nausea, and hot flashes here and there. I took a shot of Bravelle on day 9 and my trigger on day 12. The injectibles are so much nicer side effect-wise. Funny thing is that I didn't really feel any O pain like I usually do--I just had a mild ache in that area. I guess this is what O really feels like for me, because the last time I thought I O'ed it turned out to be a cyst.
At my CD12 ultrasound, I had two mature follicles. The only bad thing is that they were both on my right side, which is the same side as the tube that may be blocked. So I'm going to have to hope that my right tube really isn't blocked or that the left tube picks up the eggs. Also, my cyst in my left grew a little, but I'm hoping with the trigger shot that it will be smaller next cycle.
I still have a shot this cycle, but I have some things working against me so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. If it's a bfn at least I will know why.

You never know. I've heard of the opposite tube picking up the egg. But at the very worse, it's a dry run and next time the follies will be from the open side. 
Today was my BFN and AF should come tomorrow so very sad that this day rolls around every month.
