Infertility

Update on my DE cycle

Our donor went in for her first monitoring appointment today and the nurse said she was off to a good start. She didn't give me any more details and I didn't ask. I figured the more I know, the more I have to obsess about. With my own eggs, I was never "off to a good start" so this is exciting for me.

I go in Monday for a lining check.

So far, everything has been going well and it makes me nervous. I am not used to an IVF cycle going well and I keep waiting for bad news.

Please, please let this work.

  • Yay Holly!  This is great news!  So many more follicles will show up after today that all you need to know is that she's off to a good start.  It definitely takes some time to get used to things going well.  Take care!
