Trigger tonight!
Finally, after stimming for 13 days we are finally ready!!! HCG (Novarel) tonight!
Egg retrieval Tuesday morning! 13 big follies and some smaller ones that they think may have a chance, too. I'm sorry I haven't gotten to read yesterday and today's posts yet. I hope you are all doing well. xo

TONI-Good luck with ER tomorrow!
FUNPROF-So sorry to hear your news. BOTHSIDES-Congrats. Your PUPO  KATE-Mini van huh? We bought one earlier this summer. We joked about it because we bought one and we didn't even have kids. We mainly bought it because we camp and have dogs so we needed the room and something to pull our camper with. We really like it though. I think you'll like it. AFM: Made it through the day. We had a HUGE shindig for DH's grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary (about 78 of us there). It was really nice. I did struggle during the part where they took pictures of the grandparents with all their great grandkids/babies and with those expecting. Oh course DH and I just stood back. I almost lost it when DH's grandpa said a special prayer for all of the little ones. I think DH sensed it though and held me tight...I know he was thinking about it too. But we held it together and made it through it. I just hoped his prayer was covering us...we just don't know it yet. We were trying to stay distracted today so that didn't really help but oh well. So anyway, pretty much exhausted now. Just waiting for DH to come back with the pizza so we can settle in for the night. Who are up for betas tomorrow? Angie, I know you are Who else?

BOTHSIDE -
One more step ahead! yay! I'm glad all went well... don't you worry about your full bladder. I really don't think that your RE would go all this trouble just to mess it up at the end. You know that they want you to have a successful IVF because it is good for their stats! Take it easy - my nurse from my last mock transfer was pushing on my belly too because my uterus is way up there or something even though I have a very full bladder. I don't think I'll have a problem on my ET - I cannot stop going to the bathroom! That PIO is really getting to me! Are you taking Baby Aspirin and Prenatal vitamins yet? Anyway Congratulations you're officially PUPO ! Take it easy and enjoy what God already gave you... claim it... it is yours! JENNIFER - Good luck on your ER!!! Another step closer too eh?! I hope to see lots of fertilized eggs! Take care! hmm...maybe its just me don't you wish you BD yesterday before finding out that you'll have ER in 2 days? lol... I'm just venting because I didn't get to bd... and now I think I will not be in the next 9 months!  TONIE4VEKA & KTM - Good Luck to both of you on your ER! wow! we are all progressing right along! I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible. Take it easy and relax! XAAF - aye! another ET buddy I have!!! How many embies are you transfering? Mine is at 11AM est! This MIGHT be a long 2 days - I'm just so excited... my DH and I kept talking about these babies already. I really hope that this will be our time. Ladies I will try to spend the remaining of my weekend to watch movie with my hubby! Take care all!

I kind of knew the job thing was coming, and I did really want to be home for all this IVF stuff. Luckily I did get a good severance package and keep my benefits for a year, so it's really not bad.
