On to IVF #1 with a new RE. Started Gonal F and Menopur on 8/15. Added Ganirelix on 8/24. Trigger on 8/26 for ER on 8/28. 8R 7M 3F. Transferred all 3 on 8/31.

You ladies are so awesome--seeing this made my day! You are seriously the very best!
It went pretty well. DH did his bit like a champ (there was no porn room, btw--just one (1) issue of Playboy and one (1) issue of Penthouse discretely lying face down in one of the examining rooms).
We went to breakfast while they washed the sample and then came back for the procedure. That also wasn't bad, but the aftermath was waaayyy worse than the HSG--maybe because my ovaries were so stimulated and grouchy?
I had planned to go in to work, but actually couldn't; I was in pain! So I went home and slept for like four hours, which was kind of awesome.
Anyway, I'm feeling more positive about the whole thing. It seems to be the rule that these never work the first time, even if you don't make the mistakes I did, but DH's count and motility were good, and my throbbing ovaries make me think I got at least some of the trigger. We shall see.
Thank you all again for the support, here and elsewhere. Love you guys! :x
