I've been checking in throughout the day for an update from you.  I hope your u/s went well and those follies are growing nicely, and sticking together (in size) for you.

Not that you asked, but I didn't get my haircut today after all. :-(  The stylist cancelled on me 30 minutes before my appt.  But, on the plus side, I did get to go do a little shopping instead.  Got some random stuff for house, DD, and even a little something for me (new sunglasses), so I guess all was not lost.

Anyway, please check-in when you get a minute, you promised!

Ok bad bumpie friend, someone pop my hand!!!  I did think about updating a few times just couldn't find the time to sit down.  DS is in the bath and I am sitting on the top toilet seat and typing on the iPad.  Today was crazy!  Met a new mommy and her daughter who I am going to start babysitting to pay off this IVF, squeezed in a nap cooked lunch and dinner you know just another full day....anyway on to the update.

Not amazing news not bad news., we are still in limbo world.  My right is the game player this month with 13 but she only measured the largest 6 coming in at: 21.9, 12.5, 13.3, 22.4, 20.9, 16.6.  Lefty (who DS popped out of) is lagging behind with about 9 and the largest being: 13, 11.2, 13, 10, 12.9, 10.3.  Apparently they only measure 6 on each side bc that is what the computer lets them input but they do an over all count which is hard bc my follies seem to be on top of each other.   

 I stalked the Saturday RE (not my usual RE) in the hall and made him have a conversation with me.  He was cool about it and looked up last months follies.  He feels that this is how I respond to the meds.  I may never be a quantity egg producer and that with this response so far he would keep my meds the same if we canceled and restarted.  He felt that even if we did that I might not get more and really he is hoping and counting on the quality being better with the lupron flare we are doing.  He is working tomorrow and felt I should stim another day and he said he wants to personally do my u/s. 

So as only an IFer can understand we are in limbo another day and it means 3 more shots and another 2 hour round trip to the REs office at 7am.....ugh!   

If anyone was a cheerleader please cheer for lefty tonight!  Or pray or send thoughts. I really want to be done with these drugs!

lisa-bummer about your hair cut being canceled!  Did you reschedule?  I am sort of jealous of your alone free time shopping sounds like a dream!

I didn't realize how much you had going on these days, that sounds exhausting.  But, congrats on finding a way to pay for IVF.  Hopefully that will make things a little easier over all. 

What a crazy day, and results!  I am amazed you are still stimming, but I don't think one more day should do any harm to those bigger ones, and hopefully the ones on the left will catch up. 

I'm glad you got to talk to the RE and compare to your last cycle.  I feel like I could be your RE, since we had pretty much the same opinion, LOL.  Glad to know I was offering you good advice at least.

I need to reschedule my appt. will probably take care of that tomorrow.  Apparently her daughter had a bleeding ear/ear infection, but she did also mention having just woken up, so who knows.  It's a new person, I got a Groupon for her, so we'll see how that goes next time.

You know, now that you mention it, it was nice to have some free time alone.  Usually if I get it, it's to get the boring errands done.  I didn't bother telling DH about the cancellation, so I went to Sam's Club as scheduled, then just hit up Marshall's and TJ Maxx for relatively guilt-free fun shopping.  Ended the day getting a used jogging stroller from an old high school friend for $25, so my mom can have her own when DD is over there, so that was a plus too.

Okay, back to you, missy!  I have my pom poms out and my cheerleader outfit on (damn it's a lot smaller than I remember), and DH and the dog are just staring at me like a fool while I cheer for lefty to grow, grow, grow!  

Hope the idea of that made you smile!  As always, I'll be thinking of you and wishing you the best, and will be cheering and rooting for you from here.  Good luck tomorrow!

Lol yes I might have giggled out loud a little!!!  Loved the mental image!

So found this interesting:

"My lining was 12.5 and my E2 was 1500+ Both are great and where we want to be

Right Ovary:

25.2-lead that is over mature

16.2, 13.5,14.4

Left Ovary:

12.8, 13.8, 15.25, 16.6, 13.9, 11.8"

 

from my blog on day 15 which is what I am today.  I think I have my days lined up the same.  

 

Thoughts that are running through my mind: lefty played last time so I guess it's rights turn this month, I don't seem to have quite as huge of lead follie!! This has got to be good.  

 

i want to say once again it has been amazing having you for support and as my bumpie RE!!!! Seriously, you kept such great records that you are such a resource.  I have read your posts to others and we can't afford to let you leave us!! So can you please stick around for a while longer plus you've got to stay till I get PG!! Right!?!  And we need to cheer on Kimber and girlie our girls.  

 

I am actually happy about stimming longer as I think after some reading and another post on here a while back that my mature follicle size might be bigger than normal. So cheers to hopefully making it to retrieval soon!!!

That all sounds really good. If you can afford to sacrifice the biggie, it looks like you'll get all the rest of them.

I'm so happy I can be of help.  I'm here until you join me back over on PAIF.  I really want to do my best to help and support those who need it, I'm just trying to walk the fine line of posting where I'll be helpful and being mindful of not saying too much about my current status (part of the reason I don't have tickers right now).  I want to see everyone get their +HPT, but especially those of us who cycled together: kimber, girlie, and tracie.

I hope everything goes well this morning, and you have a good report for me when you get a chance to post it.  I can't believe you're nearly done with stims already.  Since you didn't update throughout the cycle, it feels like it's going by so fast.  This time next week, I imagine you'll be PUPO, woohoo!
