Shelley,
I follow your progress closely as you were so supportive to me regarding the DE process at the beginning. I am looking forward to hearing your news following your second U/S.
I'd welcome twins, I really would. Honestly, I still have not comprehended that this actually worked. Having an U/S will help, I'm sure.
I was saddened initially to hear that my RE felt I could not use my own eggs for IVF. The DE is daunting, but completely worth it. It does seem the ladies here with DE have good results.
It was expensive, we put all we had into this, but it is working and if I had gone to another RE who may have allowed me to use my eggs, we could have run into more disappointments and wasted efforts. So, I recommend the process.
Also, Shelley, I'm really pulling for you and all your babies!!
