Checkin! Sorry for the delay, it was a long day...

Was gently electrocuted yesterday at the accupuncturist, I guess I am getting used to that. This time it was on the front and the needles going in my pelvis felt like little shocks. (before there actually were shocks!). Guess there's a lot of energy there at the moment!

Saw Dr. Sunshine this morning, and things are progressing pretty well. My estrogen is up to 326, and I have about 5 solid follies on the right, but only 1 good one on the left. However the good news is that they are all right about the same size, so we don't have a lead horse... which is actually a good thing because you don't want one maturing before the others. An overcooked egg won't fertilize or implant properly, and at this point I need all of the ones I've got. So even though we would ideally have at least 5 on each side, I'm happy with what we do have. Quality, not quantity! :)

We had to make an unplanned drive to Northridge this morning to pick up more drugs unfortunately (another $400...gah! trying to keep that in perspective...! our drugs have cost us easily 1/2 of what they would were it not for the donated meds) because we've made a small change to my protocol at the moment. So far the drugs I've taken have just been FSH (follicle stimulating hormone, tells the follies to grow), but now we're adding in a different night time one that also has LH (luetenizing hormone, which gears the body for ovulation) in addition to the FSH. And, I am to start a new drug - this one suppresses ovulation so that everything keeps growing. So yeah, if you're keeping track we're up to 3 shots a day, not including the blood work and accupuncture.

I go in for another accupuncture tomorrow, and then back to the RE on Sunday morning. We're looking at Wednesday now for the ER (egg retrieval) and around Halloween for the ET (embryo transfer). More on that when the time comes.

For now ~ feeling good and positive. :) Thank you all for the well wishes, emails, and love!!
