~*~FM2B~*~ I had my lining check!

epphd

It looks good - 10.7.  Not triple striped, but the RE said that it wasn't important.  Besides, the donor probably won't trigger until Monday night and I'll stay on the 4 vivelle patches every other day until then, so there is plenty of time for it to grow and become patterned.

He also said there are "26 eggs" so far, which I take to mean they are monitoring 26 follies - I'm assuming that's how many are growing.  It would fall in line with her last two cycles (28 and 21 eggs) so she's right on track!  Donor's next appointment isn't until tomorrow so I should have more news then along with my E2 results

I feel like time is standing still.... only a few more days, right!?!

Thanks!  I also just comforted myself by researching the whole triple stripe business.  You hear so often that pattern is all that matters in terms of lining so I was getting a little anxious that the doc used the term "homogenous" when referring to my lining.  But... thank goodness for Dr. Licciardi's infertility blog which allayed my fears:

"I do not think the pattern matters. The odds of pregnancy don?t seem to be different if the pattern is ring (or triple) or homogenous. I have found that if the uterus is sharply retroverted, the pattern is commonly homogenous, probably just having to so with angle of the ultrasound waves."

Every time my RE has done an u/s he has commented on how retroverted my ute is.  Phew!!

Whoooohooooo!!!  That's a GREAT lining!!!!! This was your last u/s right?  I feel good that I don't have to go back in for more!

26 follies is excellent!!!!!!!!  I'm sure more will pop up!  I bet you'll have a ton of great quality embies! Isn't this so exciting??  When do you get your next update on your donor?

We're on our way.... next week will be a very eventful week for us.

I actually don't know if I have another u/s or not - I don't think so, unless they do one at transfer.  The donor's next appointment is tomorrow and I should get an update then

I am starting to get excited and nervous, but mostly... incredulous.  I can't believe it's almost here - it feels unreal. 

Mostly, I just REALLY hope it works!!!!

I feel the same way, it's very surreal!  I can't believe the time is finally here. I have so much hope and optimism that if this doesn't work, I'll be devestated.  So, IT WILL WORK!!!!

Butting in as well -

I think that is a great lining check!!!!  With you being the researcher and all, I know will have found that some of the leaders in the RE industry saying it is not that important at all (I have a friend who is pregnant with DE twins and she never had it).    But in the off chance you are at all concerned about it - remember that you still have a good week before transfer!  The day after my donor triggered I was at 8.2 and there were signs that I was about to be trilamitor (sp?) (triple stripe) but I wasn't there yet - not so great - but by transfer I was over 10 and had a "beautiful triple stripe". 

GOOD LUCK - I am so very happy for you!!!!!
