Just wanted to wish everyone luck this week!!
Mwalls- I will keep you in my prayers tonight!
AFM- I go in for my baseline US/BW on Monday. I hope I still have 10 antral follicles and I haven't lost any. That is my fear. I need all the follicles I can get!! Anyone starting out this week?

I am looking forward to tomorrow's office visit, hoping my e2 is up and there are more follies. I worry though, because I'm still not having any side effects other than acne on my chin and a little insomnia. I'm not having mood swings - in fact I'm more calm than ever... Worried... Tomorrow at 8am can't come soon enough.

Hugs

don't worry about not having side effects. I don't have any either. I didn't have any during my first IVF either. Everyone is different and not everyone has side effects. Good luck.

Good luck with your checkin on Monday. I am so looking forward to seeing how things are going.

[quote=JustOneMore]Lisa, we are on the same schedule and at the same practice! I go to SIRM in NYC. What about you? Who is your RE?

I am going to SIRM-NJ, Dr. Peters. So far, I am really happy. If I didn't switch, I probably wouldn't have found out that I have NK cells. I was going to RMA in NJ. This is my first IVF. You are on the EPP, right? I think you are ahead of me. I don't start stimming until July 20th. How is it going with Dr. T? I wanted to go to the NY office but it is so hard to travel with a 2 year old. Dr. Peter's office is only 15 minutes from my house. He has been great!!
Good luck to you and keep me posted!!!

LOVE that movie. Makes me laugh every time. I swear DH and I can quote most of it while we watch...and random lines will come out occasionally during everyday life. There are some classics.

Hello All!

Just got back from the RE. I have lots of follies, not sure how many exactly. The biggest ones are 22mm and 21mm...a few 19, 18, 17 also.

I am triggering tonight. When I call the machine it will tell me my E2 level and at what time to trigger.

I will post my E2 level later. My retrieval will be on Tuesday, and my transfer will hopefully be on Sunday 7/19.

Again, I appreciate so much being able to come on here and share. Thank you ALL!

Wishing everyone lots of luck with upcoming retrievals, transfers, and betas.
