Aunty, it appears your embies are preparing you for when they are teenagers. Defiant and doing things on their schedule. After all the good work they've done over the last few days, maybe they are just taking a nap and saving their energy to divide like crazy for when you show up tomorrow. Good luck and please keep us posted. ((((hugs))))

Sassy...I so want to be invited to Aunt Sassy Sleepover. After reading your post last night, I begged DH to go out and get candy. He said no. :twisted:

My update....still 20 follies, but all are 15mm - 20mm. Dr. was so proud of himself it was quite comical. Said I'm his poster child for this cycle. He anticipates 15 eggs to retrieve at a minimum! Just waiting for them to call to tell me when to trigger tonight and when to show up on Monday. Of course now I worry that they divide and they get to at least 6 cells for the pgd testing. Dang! There's something to worry about every step of the way. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy my hen status. :D

hugs and love to all,
Ange

Ange: fantastic news! 15 and they are all good size for retrieval. Brava! So PGD, huh? dh and i decided we are going to do it again. After thawing all our 2pn frosties from all three cycles (what i am now calling my "mega cycle", thanks Fee :wink: ) we plan on pgd'ing them. I figure if there are no chromosomally nl ones there, i am done. Originally wasn't gonna do pgd again, but since we will have 30-40 of them banked, why not??? Then at least i will know for sure. Anyway, i get the anxiety. Hang in there!!! Things are looking great!

Will be back in a few hours w/the list. I am cooking a fancy dinner for 12 adults tomorrow (there will be 6 kids... but they will be eating out of Aunt Sassy's candy drawer :lol: ). It is MIL's 60th bday. So have my grocery list and i am off....

Hello ladies!

Just wanted to say hi in passing! I'm in the middle of preparing dinner here. I have a nice fudge chocolate bundt cake cooking in the oven and it's already smelling amazing in the house! Anyone interested by the recipe, just tell me: it's very low fat! After this post I'm going to make an onion and tomato basil soup with croutons and my DH decided he was going to prepare the chicken. And when I asked what way he would prepare it, expecting something new (well, he's French after all!) he just said, "Oh, I'm going to prepare it just like you do!" ;)

Sassy, AMD, Jackie, Carolyn, tcbalgord, Cinny, Shantala, ag, Ange and whoever else I probably forgot to mention, GROUP HUG!

Aunty... hang in there sweetie. I know this must be nerve wracking, I really do. But hey... you've done every single thing you could do for those embies to grow their best. Everything. It's completely out of your hands right now, and you have no control over it. It's really a pain, especially if you have OCD (lol, you didn't think I would forget that one, did you? :lol: ), but it's still a fact. You're only making yourself more miserable by fretting about it more. I'm glad that your MIL created that diversion for you. I really hope that you'll spend the rest of your evening doing something nice that takes your mind off of it in part at least. Easier said than done, but it can still be done. You've been through so much with all those meds, those shots... don't you think you deserve some time to just regroup and take care of yourself? asddddddeeeeeee34444444

Whoops! LOL I think my cat just agreed with me here! I think she says hi! ;) And I say *HUG*

Take care ladies, and have a great Saturday night!

Good Evening! Aunty, so pleased to hear that your 11 are hanging in there. Now close your hears cuz this is just beteween me and them.....
(I promise if you lil ones are good to your mommy and come home safe and grow into nice healthy babies I will let you come over to my house, where we will order Chineese food, and eat cake, hamburger cookies, and popcorn, all night long. I promise to let you watch the Wizard of Oz as many times as you want, and you can drive Tom CRAZY with fish questions all night long. Then I will take you to a store where they have real alligators and big huge snakes that you can bring home to mommy!!!!! SO PLEASE lil ones be good and grow for her.)

Ok Aunty now you tell me and Sassy if they aren't good cuz we both have really plans for them!

I had a little talk with my MIL she said that she wants to eat, but that no will get the stuff she wants. MY SIL has been feeding her lean cuisiean and South Beach Diet stuff. EWWWW I don't blame her for not wanting to eat that! I told SIL that she is not the BOSS of mom and that if she wants Taco Bell 10x a day then just get it for her. Especially since she still is bed bound. So mission accomplished; even though I hate using "muscle" with them.

Well DH and I are going to gorge on Chineese food and watch a scary movie! So have a fab night girls.

Jackie...I definitely think prouder is a word and if it's not, it is now! All I know about PGD testing at this point is that it's usually done on day 3 after EC and the embies have to have at least 6 cells. They take a biopsy of a cell of the embie and that's what they test. I am having what is called aneuploidy testing, which tests for very specific chromosomal abnormalities. Our dear Sassy has had it done as well, she might be able to provide more details. I will of course ask my 1000 questions on Monday and fill you in after Iearn more.

Sassy...
30-40 banked! Wow, that's quite the sample size for PGD testing. I'm sure you understand my anxiety around having 'normal' ones. ugh

Aunty..glad you got a chuckle at your MIL's and are feeling better about tomorrow. We will all be checking non stop no doubt til we hear from you.

TC... My husband doesn't watch scary movies and I love them. Great job with your MIL, thank god she has you.

Cinny.... you must be so excited for Tuesday. Everything crossed for you.

As for me, I trigger tonight at midnight. I'm sure I will be waking dh up for that. I am so sleep deprived as anxiety has been waking me every night from 2-5am. Hopefully I can get some shut-eye tonight after my shot. Well I'm scheduled for Monday 10:30, yipee, and at least I know I'll get some sleep then!
