My mind is playing tricks on me...

Ok...on the ledge here...I made the mistake ? last night of checking the phone tree for my blood results before ER this morning and my E2 had dropped a bit. Then I read on the paper work I was given that a person can be cancelled if E2 drops by 20 percent. I pulled out my calculator and that's exactly how much I dropped, though they didn't seem concerned and are proceeding. I spent the night flipping out that I would get there and have no eggs to retrieve. Ugh ugh ugh. I hate IF brain!!!! I know you're all in my corner, but I could use your prayers this morning!! Thanks ladies!
Married 2007
3 Clomid IUIs -- BFNs
IVF #1 never made it to transfer
On "egg health" cocktail DHEA/CoQ10/FRC/Pregnitude/Melatonin
Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!
