It's barking again. It's nearly 1am. Maybe I should shoot the owners for keeping such a stupid dog instead? My brothers dogs pretty much NEVER bark. This one could learn a thing or two.
I definitely think you should complain, especially since your future is at stake. (Sorry to sound soap opera-ish, but it's true!) When my landlady pulled that stunt, I nearly blew a gasket! lol
I'm 38, married 8 years to a wonderful DH (43), and TTCd for nearly 4 years. We finally had our daughter after 2 rounds of IVF. No luck so far with #2.

Day12 Retrieved 16, 14 mature, 13 fertilized, 11 day3, 6 blasts on day5. Transferred 2, froze 4. Beta 955 July 2nd (20dpo). Beta 3900 24dpo. U/S at 7wks showed 6wk5d baby with FHR 127. NT scan - looking good, NT only 0.7mm. 18.5 week scan - it's a girl, and all looks good! Born Mar 16th, 11d overdue, after months of fearing true preterm labour due to crazy-frequent tightenings.
2000ish - condom broke twice in 1 week with the man who would become my DH 5 years later. Got the morning after pill the first time, was told a urine preg test was negative the next time (at all of about 8dpo, now that I think about it), so I shouldn't worry about it. After all we've been through now, I guess that's about right!
Jun 2005 - get married
Aug 2005 - DH moves to Canada. Off birth control.
Nov 2005 - start charting - pretty decent timing, long irregular cycles with tons of spotting, no BFP.
Oct 2006 - start metformin via my family doctor, get referred to an endocrinologist who does Creighton method infertility treatment.
Nov 2006 - Feb 2007 - progesterone LP supplementation, which is supposed to spur my hypothalamus and pituitary into working right for a change.
Apr-May 2007 - luteal HCG (as both estradiol and progesterone are low for me).
Jun-Oct 2007 - clomid in varying doses with luteal HCG. Timed intercourse. Cervical mucus dries up.
Nov 2007 - Letrazole + luteal HCG + timed intercourse while on vacation --> BFP when spotting/bleeding stopped at 17dpo. Great doubling initially, then slowed. Progesterone support. Heartbeat seen x2, then lost it when spotting started at 8.5wks. Natural M/C.
Apr-May 2008 - Letrazole + luteal HCG/estradiol/progesterone. Spotting mostly gone.
Jun 2008 - Letrazole. Anovulatory, induce AF with provera.
Jul 2008 - Letrazole + Gonal-F + HCG trigger + luteal progesterone + timed intercourse. One follicle.
Aug 2008 - natural with luteal estradiol + progesterone
Sep 2008 - Letrazole + Gonal-F + HCG trigger + luteal progesterone/estradiol + IUIx2 --> 2 follicles --> BFP 37 at 14dpo. Spotted/bled constantly untill loss at 5wks.
Nov 2008 - Letrazole + Gonal-F + HCG trigger + progesterone. Timed intercourse while on vacation.
Dec 2008 - Letrazole + Gonal-F + HCG trigger + progesterone. 4 follicles developed - BFN.
Jan 2009 - Letrazole + Gonal-F + HCG trigger + progesterone + IUI. Ended up with 6 follicles and worried talk from RE about higher-order multiples and selective reduction if we went ahead. Crap sperm --> BFN.
Feb 2009 - break cycle waiting for IVF consult - long, anovulatory, and took me through the IVF consult and directly onto BCP for IVF in April.
April 2009 - IVF #1 Gonal-F 187.5IU CD6-?, Orgalutran CD?-?, Trigger, 5d transfer. Day1 stims E2 62, >30 antrals. Day 4 stims E2 263. Rollercoaster E2 ride, which never got high enough to reflect the number of developing follicles. Canceled.

Day 10 E2 8500, 18 >10mm, 12 mature size, 6-7 ideal size at 18-21mm. Trigger with ovidrel. E2 13000 day after trigger. 16 retrieved, 14 mature, 13 fertilized. 11 from 2-5+ cells on day2, 11 from 6-9+ cells on day3, 6 blasts on day5 (2 transferred, 4 frozen), and the remaining 4 day5 morulas then arrested by day6.
