This time around I am happy with the general report I get each morning and the lab result each afternoon. Must be the sleep deprivation - not enough room in my head or energy in my brain to give so much attention to the details this time.

That being said, they do check my lining each u/s - I just have never asked about it,lol. My u/s report today ~ the one on the right is up to an 18 and there is now a smaller one joining it that measures at a 6. On the left, the largest is 14 plus three smaller ones measuring at 9 and 10. Waiting on the afternoon call.

You know what else - there are two regular u/s techs at my RE's office. They are both lovely and so sweet, but there is one I definitely feel more comfortable asking questions to than the other. She will be working tomorrow, so I am sure I'll be asking about my lining then, lol.

So, todays numbers = 469. The RE had me do 3 Menopur this afternoon, then 3 again tonight plus my 3 in the morning. Also, tonight he wants me to take 1ml (100 units) of Diluted Hcg. Back again tomorrow for labs and u/s.

Not getting a good vibe from this cycle, but again, what do I know?

It is just the medicine talking plus being so anxious, take it day by day and you will succeed! No worries plus on the positive side you still have some frozen babies you can try also, suggestion, i would also have them transfer the frozen ones with the fresh ones , who knows they worked last time, I have a good feeling for you so no worries

AM,
Just wanted to chime in that there have been lots of ladies who have had "perfect" cycles and don't get the BFP and then others who have had the "imperfect" cycle and are pregnant or holding their babies right now. I am the exact same way as you are though........keep positive thoughts and you'll be bringing lil' Paul a baby brother or sister home in 9 months!!!

Thanks Girl!! You know, I was thinking about that - asking if they could do an FET with this cycle. I wasn't sure if that was feasible. Thanks for the reminder!

No - just talk with the u/s techs and nurse in the mornings and then the nurse again in the afternoon. That's how it has always been with each cycle. Plus the PA - sometimes she calls in the afternoon.

I have the Garenelix, but they didn't mention it. What is the diff between the two (G and Diluted Hcg)?

don't know if and how they are different, i just know you mentioned Ganirelix before. I think i've read somewhere that someone was doing micro-dose hCG AND Garnirelix at the same time.... that's all i know...

Well something worked . . . . I think, lol.

Today's folicle report: right one up to a 19 and the smaller an 8. Left large one a 14 and smaller ones at 11, 10, and something else around there, I don't remember (looks like I have conquered that OCD, lol). Plus my lining is nice and thick at a 12.

Afternoon phone call report: to be announced.
