Af arrived yesterday and I am due to have a baseline in the morning. Hopefully I get to start stims tomorrow too.
wannababy, I'm not thrilled that my neighbors know the details. I don't like talking about the process much with anyone that has not gone through the same ordeal. Even my MIL, as supportive and caring as she is, she still managed to tell me the story of how her cousin was ready to have kids, but never got PG, but she and FIL were not ready but seemed to get PG just farting. Like somehow she could relate.
Anyway, my neghbors are very nice people and actually pretty supportive. She gave me a beautiful gift basket of goodies and a sokudo book when I was on bed rest. They haven't tried to pry any info from me and I'm sure it's all DH openly talking about it. I'm sure samandaw is right about DH talking to people as away to deal with things. It is good to talk when things are mentally tough. It's just awkward for me because I'm the one that is IF not him.Sorry I have not been around. Mom's here. So far it's a nice visit. We did not have a turkey dinner because she is a vegan. She's recently got into 'raw' foods and that's what we've been eating. It's not really bad, it feels good for you, but I really would like a little meat pretty soon.
We told her that we got another BFN and will be starting stims again right away. She's really not too thrilled about it. Just as I thought. Not that she's against my desire to have a baby and she does wish the best for me. She just is against IVF because of her ethical beliefs and because of the intense health risks to my body. She is budhist and a homeopathic practitioner, just to give you an idea of where she is coming from. She can't understand why we are so determined to do all this now. She says get healthier first and try later, etc, etc. I understand what she's saying and a agree to some point. But, I say; "We have the oppourtunity and ability now (and at a discount). There are so many IF couples that will never have the ability to do IVF. If I wait, who knows what will happen. That could be us next year. Besides my eggs aren't getting any younger and neither am I. Everything is good now and I'm ready. She sees that I've gained weight because of Ivf and the process has caused a lot of stress. She can't understand why I would do that to myself. I just told her I want to be a mom and those are just some of the sacrifices I am willing to make. Of course I could lose some weight and get healthier, I'm going to work on that for sure. I think she is most concerned with my physical and mental health after IVF and would rather not see me go through it, especially if I never have a baby from it. She asks "what will you do if it doesn't work?". All I can say is "I'm not thinking about that right now. I want to stay 100% positive". I believe if I'm negative or doubt what I'm doing, it definately will not work.
I took my trigger shot on 11/11 pm. Do you think that it is out of my system now?
Are you doing the same protocol? 
I am excited, but I am also kinda concerned. I just hope everything will be OK. I was reading that the beanie should be around 5mm long already and it looks like a little shrimp.
Strange as it is, I always felt better about doing them together as opposed to when I did the follitism in the am and repronex (basically same thing as menopur) in the pm. Hopefullly, this will be the magic formula for success for you! Enjoy the acupuncture too! 
You'd think by now I'd be an 'old pro' but guess not!
