Yeah, I just threw that in for good measure...Chapel Hill is actally better and it doesn't matter than much in my opinion unless you're Ivy League anyway.
More on 529 later...will start a new thread but I have to go BACK to the office to get grade spreadsheets so I can answer the email blasts and phone calls, "I only need 28 points to get an A, can't you help me out???" NO. And on top of that, you really need 50

Triggering today anyone???

Who knows what is going on with my follicles? . . . Anyone? . . . . . Anyone? . . . . . . Beuller? . . . . . . Beuller?

So today there was an all together different u/s tech there. She tells me the right has a 23 and a 6, and the left has a 17, two 15s, a 14, and a bunch of tiny ones.

Ummmmm, so my smaller ones got smaller and my largest continued to grow? Aren't the meds supposed to halt the larger ones thereby giving the smaller ones a chance to grow?

Nothing to do now but wait.

ET on Thursday. Don't have to deal with the Crabby Crew until afterwards when they call with the fert report. Actually, I don't think they are the ones who call, so maybe no dealings with them until next Monday when I have bloods done again.

I am nervous for tomorrow, but certainly not as nervous as I used to be.

My heart . . . . he keeps me sane . . . .




Will update when we return tomorrow.
