I had my first monitoring appointment yesterday and it went well. I have 12 follies on my left side and 16 on my right side. I will continue with all the meds until Friday night and then I will go for another monitoring appointment on Saturday. He said that they will know then when ER will be. I am hoping it will be on 2/15 but we'll see.
I am trying to keep my head out of the clouds right now. I know that 28 follies seems like a lot but it really depends on what actually gets fertilized and then makes it through the PGS testing.
The Doc also mentioned me possibly having a natural cycle before they do the ET. They want to see how my body responds after the ER. He said we would talk more about it on my appointment on Saturday. I will be starting Lovenox after ER too. So I will continue to be a pin cushion.
We haven't told anyone about this IVF so it is nice to be able to share my news here.

Grow follies grow! I know with PGS it's a numbers game so I understand not getting too excited, but I think it sounds like you're off to a fantastic start. FX you avoid any OHSS and can go right into a transfer and a sticky baby!
I was wondering about you last night. I'm happy everything looks good so far, and I have lots of growing, fertilizing, and rainbow vibes heading for those 28 follies!
