Baseline went ok

The baseline went ok. I have fewer follies than last time, but as everyone keeps reminding me it is quality not quantity. It is really hard not do the numbers game though when we are doing the genetic biopsy screening because, well, we really do need more. They are doing a slower stim protocol this time though in hopes that the ones we do get are higher quality. So that is good I guess.

There is a possible delay looming though if my period doesn't start by tomorrow. Apparently my lining is too thick to start stims, but I just took my last BCP tuesday night so... Maybe I need the Voodoo tampon.

one sweet thing was as we were leaving they were playing the song we danced to at our wedding in the lobby. "come Away with me" by norah jones
