I'm skeered.
eta: I was at the RE when I wrote that. So, today is CD10. I just did a Ganirelix injection to stop ovulation. I have to have another one tomorrow morning. Tonight and tomorrow night I do more Menopur. He's also putting me on estrogen patches and estradiol. I go for another u/s on Saturday and trigger that night for a Monday morning IUI. I'm nervous. Four follies is a lot. I have one at 21 mm, and 3 at 15mm. My RE thinks that the 21 will be overmature and that I'll have 3 to work with. I talked to him about multiples and he said he's confident that with me it would be twins at most. I really, really just want a singleton. Beggars can't be choosers though, right?
Oh, and my belly is bruised and sore.
I think this will be my last cycle. I just don't have it in me anymore and that's okay. If it doesn't work, maybe we'll get a pool installed. :P
Please say prayers for me if you're a praying type of person.

I'll be praying that ONE sticks for you! Although my godsons are twins and when I see how cute they are I wonder why don't all of them come in pairs?

Looks like we're in the 4 follie club together (depending on what my u/s shows tomorrow)!! I'm thinking about you and will keep you in my thoughts!!
Good luck and keep us updated!
Lucky-I am sending prayers up for you as we speak.
I'm still trying to accept the fact I'm having twins. It's scaring the hell out of me. So many emotions going on. I only had two follies. Even the dr was surprised.
I wish you the very best of luck!
[you know I'm just being silly - do whats in your heart. If I was on my LAST cycle, I'd take 4 with no reservations. I had 3 with Rhayna and inital betas of 1444 and only one strong babe!]
