I went in for monitoring this morning and my lining is a 7.2 but there is some fluid in there. That's pretty normal for me and normally just goes away on its own, I pray. I have about 8 or more follicles and I don't want to waste them. I'm already DOR and dont think wasting them is a good idea. So now we are going to do a retrieval. They have never had someone that has to stim to do a FET so trying to figure out cost is a problem. They haven't told me yet what it's going to cost for the ER and lab fees, they AH and ICSI everything. But I'm thankful they are willing to go outside the box for me and give me a chance at having more embies. We are still transferring the two frosties and freeze the ones retrieved. I'm looking at a ER Wednesday and ET June 10. I'm nervous as always but praying it all works out. I hope my lining continues to thicken and the fluid goes away in its own. I will go back tomorrow and Saturday for monitoring. On a side note I'm very proud of myself, I quit smoking. I always quit when I had ET but would start again once bfn came. This time I made up my mind and I'm done. I quit when I started stims and I hope I never touch another one again. One day at a time, today is 6 days. I know it doesn't sound like much but it's a big deal to me and DH is ecstatic. He doesn't smoke and always hated it. I don't blame him at all. But I was down to really only smoking socially so figured why do it at all. Please don't judge me, I know smoking is bad but I'm trying to change and doing pretty darn good so far. You ladies have a great rest of the week and awesome weekend!

First, congrats on quitting smoking!!! 6 days is a great start! Second, our FETs are now on the same day! We are cycle buddies! I think it's great that you are going to turn this into a cycle that will yield you hopefully a bunch of frosties for the future
