looking for more signs (diaper delivery)

owlprofowlprof member
in TTC after 35

Yesterday, the mailman said that he had a package for us and pulled out an enormous box of diapers. I'm going to look at it as a sign, just like when hijoi saw the VW bug with two pink stripes (for those of you that remember!).

IVF is moving right along.  I had a monitoring appointment today and have a handful of follies ~ 10 mm after 6 days of stims.  My next appointment is Saturday, and my RE thinks trigger on Sunday.  I'm freaking out a bit that something crazy will happen -- like I ovulate before I get instructed to take the Ganirelix, but I am trying to relax.

My RE is absolutely wonderful, and he asked  me if there was anything going on that was making me so anxious.  I explained that I just have a pretty high baseline level of anxiety.  I guess I should feel good that he doesn't think this cycle should be making me anxious!

    I often think of this, it's one of my favorite stories from on here. 

    It sounds like things are going well for you...I completely understand worrying about ovulating before the Ganirelix, I have worried about that too, but It's too early for you to ovulate, don't worry!

    Fingers crossed for your first and hopefully last IVF cycle! I'm looking forward to your update from the weekend. I hope that those diapers were a definite sign of what is to come!

    TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.

    Great story.  I remember how anxious I was during my 1st IVF.  I think it has more to do with the unknown-ness of it all, and knowing there is only so much you can control.

    During both IVFs I was so focused on doing everything I could to the best of my ability (made sure all stims shots were pretty much within 15-30 minutes of the same time each day), and got copies of all my reports to analyze...ok overanylze everything.

    Do your best to relax as your cycle comes to a close, and good luck to you!

    I've always been a big believer in the universe sending signs.  This sounds like a pretty good one to me :-)
    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.

    Good luck Owl! Please keep us posted.

    I'm counting herons as storks. I've seen several in my 2ww and even had one land in my yard while I was back there. Praying for everyone.

    Mayzie and 10-4:  I remembered that someone was seeing herons, but couldn't recall who.  I hope that both of your "storks" bring good news!

    Maybe they will finally get it together and deliver the goods!
