Well, my lining is apparently OK. The clinic considers the next one, when I'm actually at the clinic, to be the more important one.
And we got an update on the donor's follicle count. She's doing well and not having any side effects from the drugs (yay!). I don't know whether to start the next sentence with "and" or "but." So I won't use any conjunction:
Her follicle count is 11 after 5 days of stimulation. My coordinator says this is "as expected" and their goal is 10-20 eggs for us. They are going to do another u/s on Wedsnesday, so we'll have another update then. The coordinator also says that this donor typically develops more eggs as the stimulation goes forward. We can expect 80% of the follicles to yeild mature eggs, so at this point, we're close to the minimum.
I know I'm asking the impossible: I'd really like unambiguously good news from now until we get that positive HPT.
Life doesn't work that way, so I have to learn this coping skill. Still, I would like to worry as little as possible until we're done.
About Me
- DE Mommy
- Our son was conceived after two months of "trying." Imagine our surprise when the next 8 pregnancies ended in miscarriages (5 chemical pgs and 3 clinical m/cs ranging from 8 weeks to 12 weeks). We've considered adoption but started trying donor eggs first. Our frist DE cycle was with frozen donor eggs. Our 1st fresh cycle was canceled when the donor tested (falsely) positive for HIV. We also think I may have an auto-immune issue. We are pregnant with twins after our 3rd DE cycle, the first one we got to "try" with!

I've done 6 IUIs and I thought I was ready for the process. But I found the DE IVF process very stressful. There are so many hurdles to pass - your lining, her follicles, how many eggs, how many are mature, how many fertilized, how many lasted the first 3 days, how many will make it to 5, how many to put in, how many made it to freeze...
Then the two week wait. It's like a 3 week nail biting exercise. I'm hoping for good news each step of the way for you and positively great news on the last step!
Things sound like they are falling into place which is really, really good!!!! I'll keeping sending positive vibes to the Universe for you!
