Just wanted to share the news from my appointment this morning. This cycle has been SOOOOOO different that my August cycle. On Monday we had 8 follies and at today's monitoring appointment there were 9 with NO LEADS!!! I know 9 doesn't sound like that many, but for a DOR girl like me, 9 is a dream! Here's hoping the dream doesn't turn into a nightmare!
Next appointment is Monday morning and I will probably trigger Monday night for a Wednesday retrieval. Any continued growing vibes you can send my way would be much appreciated.
Also, since it now looks like both my retrieval AND transfer will be in October, I suppose I should joing the Pumpkin Patchers...Can anyone pass along the badge code?

Woo-hoo -- WONDERFUL news, k8tee! Agreed, 9 is awesome! So glad that things are going better for you this cycle. (you're back to just straight MDLF, no EPP this time, right?)

Hi Joules!! So good to "see" you!!
Yes, just regular MDLF, but with a couple of extra days (4 total) between ending BCP's and starting the MDLupron. This is what we did for my March cycle (for a different reason then), and it was my best cycle BY FAR and resulted in a viable fetus, so we decided to try to replicate it as closely as possible. So far, so good. My RE actually told me today that she is going to have me design protocols for ALL her patients! Lol!!

Thanks for the encouragement Nukem! I've actually been looking to you as inspiration this cycle with your twins!! It's definitely about quality over quantity for us DOR/Poor Responders...Here's hopin' one (or two!) of my follies has a decent egg in it!

Awww! Thanks so much for the words of encourgement. I honestly can't tell you how much it means to me. I pray that no one has to experience some of the things that I've gone through, but I also know that we're ALL a lot stronger than we give ourselves credit for. One of the "gifts" of IF, I suppose (if there is such a thing!).
I've got everything crossed that IVF#1 is it for you and that the remainder of your 2ww flies by!
Yes quality over quantity! It's definitely possible, and from your siggy you have had one implant in the past (though in the wrong spot, boo) so I have faith that you have some good ones in the bunch! I've got my FX for you!
