@mrswin: I wouldn't worry too much about it at this point. Things start to happen pretty fast as you move along!

@mrswin: Don't worry about only having seven right now. There are probably others that just aren't visible right now. I had way more at the end than we thought we'd get.

@Jenn23: Thank you! Soon, very soon!!!

@mrswin: Still very early then (my follies were around 6mm "resting")! I didn't have another U/S until after 5 days of stims...they just did estrogen/E2/estradiol levels at first. FX for lots more growth for you in the next few days!

@mrswin: You're welcome! I am a worrier too! I just looked back in emails I sent to my acupuncturist, and here is where I was at on day 6 of stims:

"I had 8 follicles on my right side. I had one at 12 mm, three at 10 mm, and then the rest were smaller than 10.

I had 7 follicles on my left side. One was at 11 mm, three were at 10 mm, and the rest were lower than 10.

My lining was measuring at 10 mm."

I ended up doing 10.5 days of stims, one day of rest, and then triggered the next day.

@FliegepilzHut: Thanks! They wanted me to go in early in the stim process because in the past I have responded to oral meds VERY quickly... as in ready for an IUI on CD11

@Sunshine1810: Thanks for looking that up for me.

@Jenn23: I will be happy if there are a bunch hiding out! I start the Ganirelix tomorrow night, the doctor wants me to wait one more day.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: Excited for you about starting stims! It definitely gets very real and so exciting now! Wishing you so much luck!!

AFM: I'm still under the weather but trying to have a positive attitude. I mean I'm sure "regular" people get pregnant even with a cold, so why shouldn't this work. The only thing I see online about it is that you shouldn't cough when they are doing the transfer! So hopefully by 2pm central time those little embies will be snuggling in!!

@mrswin: That makes perfect sense. Hang in there, lady. "Trust the process."

@Mrs.Pinecone316: Very exciting! I'll be thinking of you all week!

@GreenThumb:

And in other news...I was doing all that last-minute worrying for nothing!

@swedishfish: I did...but I warned him that I was going to do it. He finally understood...and is overjoyed, of course.

@FliegepilzHut: congratulations! What's your EDD?

@swedishfish: Ummm... (I hadn't even considered this yet!) March 22, if a singleton!

@GreenThumb: Thank you!!!

@FliegepilzHut: congratulations!!! Thanks for not making us wait til tomorrow

@GreenThumb: Good luck today! And you are right, people get pregnant all the time with colds Will be thinking of you at 2pm

@Mrs.Pinecone316: Congrats on starting on the stims. What protocol are you doing? I felt the same when, we talked about doing IVF for so long and now we are actually doing it!

@mrswin: Thanks!!! You're both very welcome. Thinking of you!!

@mrswin: I didn't have an ultrasound until my 7th day of stims (I had already stimmed for 6 days). I had 25 follicles ranging in size from 8-12.5. But I think they counted some of them twice. Don't worry, you'll be great!

@FliegepilzHut: Thank you!!! I am starting to freak myself out about it. I wasn't before because it felt far away but now I am starting to panic a bit.

@FliegepilzHut: I really hope so! I am just afraid they'll tell me that there's nothing they can do.

@Sunshine1810: If they do, you could always get a second opinion. But they won't.

Edited: BTW: I totally get where you're coming from. I'm not saying it's necessarily a good idea....but I deal with my anxiety by rationalizing....and building contingency plan upon contingency plan. But that won't be necessary for you. You're going to be great!

@MrsMccarthy: Thank you! Back at ya'! I saw you on the BFP list/July POAS thread. When will you be due?

@Caly: I'm glad to be brightening everyone's morning (especially mine and DH's)! Thank you!
