Okay, ladies. I just heard back from the nurse and my E2 did increase substantially so instead of heading back on Tuesday for u/s and b/w they want me to come in tomorrow morning to check the follicles again. She said the increase in e2 is nothing to worry about they just want to make sure that the retrieval is done at the right time. Phew! So, DH and I are off to get me one more vial of menopur. I had ordered it, but when I received the refill follistim yesterday morning there was no menopur with it. I cannot even tell you the frustration DH and I went through with doing the mail order (through Medco Accredo Specialty pharmacy--who I would not recommend). We called about 3x on Wednesday to insure that the meds would be here on Friday and then were told that they would not come until Saturday morning. We were assured that the follistim and menopur would both be delivered Saturday am, but that did not happen. So, DH was on the phone with them trying to figure out what happened and how they were going to rectify the situation. Finally, he got them to agree to fax the order in to a local pharmacy and send us a price adjustment form so we can get our money back (retail price is more than double mail order price). I tried to be calm about it, but my emotions were just running wild. I was hoping not to have to get it refilled today, but I do need to take it before my appt. tomorrow. Oh well. So, it looks like they were pretty much on the mark with 4/22 being ER, however, that might get changed to 4/21 depending on my u/s tomorrow.
I hope everyone is feeling good today! One of my friends just went through transfer and is having a bad allergy attack. She was told not to sneeze (or to try not to) b/c the embabies could fall out. Has anyone else heard of this? Seems a little crazy to me like peeing out the embryos. I had never heard anything about sneezing. Amy2244, I am sure your embabies are fine! Try not to worry. I am going to have to search the discovery channel for that tv program. It sounds very interesting. Thanks for the heads up. Cathy, I hope you get your 6 follicles!!!! HollyC, good luck on ET tomorrow. My thoughts and good wishes are with you!!!! Hopeful07, How are you doing? Hang in there, Beta is coming up. rana, I hope the ER went well. Let us know how you're feeling. Traci, how are you feeling? BTW, I know what you mean about wanting nookie when you can't have it. Our last day was on Friday so we took advantage. Now we have to wait, and boy does DH look fine. He's been working out a lot lately and his body looks good. I've always had this fantasy about my man coming home from running in the morning--walking in all sweaty--well, at least he is walking in all sweaty and when all this is done we can complete the fantasy.  Probably, TMI, sorry it's the hormones.  I hope everyone else is feeling good and keeping a positive attitude. April is a good month--I feel it in my bones that we are going to have a lot of success!!!! To everyone else, I hope that you are all feeling good!
