Thank you Heather. She actually passed in March in Taiwan and was cremated. My mom's family waited until she could come to Taiwan (later this week) to bury her so that my mother could attend the graveside services. I just hope that my mom will be ok emotionally. May little sister is going with her to the funeral.

pinching and cramping in right ovary

I'm really hoping that it is follicles developing and not the cysts the u/s tech saw the other day!!!

I went for a walk and now it hurts if I move just right.

Cathy - Did they see cysts while you were stimming? Did they look much different from a follicle? I am asking this b/c it always confuses me how they tell the difference! (I've only had a cyst visible once when I was going in for day 3 b/w and it looked like a developing follicle to me! besides that, I thought they were just all developing follicles). Hoping your are just feeling some nice follies developing!!!

These cysts need to go away for all of us! They are massive party-poopers!

Thanks, Janice. I got converted to an IUI b/c I have 2 follies ready to go and 2 close behind, but not enough for IVF. The good news is that my IUI's were all used up on my old insurance, but I just got new insurance for my job, and this one has unlimited IUI's and 4 IVF's. So the last IVF cycle was covered on my old insurance and we still have 4 tries. Thanks for asking, and I'll still be cheering you on even if you don't hear from me as much. I will DEFINITELY be watching you and Cathy get your BFP's!

Liza, that's great news about your new insurance! I'm sorry you got converted. I was hoping that you'd have more follies this morning. You've still got a great shot with IUI. We will all be cheering each other on!!!
When you're on your high doses of stims, are you extra tired???
