Hey all...
Angie and
Aunty: read your posts before falling asleep last night... brought me back (at least a little closer) to reality...was able to sleep quite well. Helped me calm down from my panic attack. Thanks!
mominwaiting: welcome to the board. As has been mentioned, we are a bit mad...some of us more than others. But at least the vicious hormone swings are understood here!
So this IVF thing is one HELL of a rollercoaster. I finally got a hold of an IVF coordinator last night to make sure i wasn't screwing up my cycle by not starting the lupron (you'd think an MD could determine whether or not her AF had arrived, but as for my own infertility, i'm an imbecile!). But as i am not doing a fresh transfer this month, they said it didn't matter at all what my uterine lining was doing, as long as my bw looked ok (all right, another thing i learned in med school

). All that "freakin' out" for absolutely nothin'! This am... baseline us w/ 2 cysts (but filled in...so no worries) and 21 antrals. Yep, 21. Feeling pretty proud of my little ovaries this am. Not bad for an ol' gal. In the past, only about 1/3 grow enough for retrieval. Hoping for better results w/new protocol. Maybe with 21 i will get close to 10???!!! I can still dream. Just got the call my bw is good... so starting lupron, menopur and gonal f tonight. Yipee!!! I have got to find a way to decrease my stress and anxiety this cycle....hmmm, maybe a massage....
sorry no time for more personals...but after reading the posts might just have to get my own myspace page...
