Well, it looks as if we may finally be getting closer. I had my u/s today and the RE found 16 follies, a couple at 17 and others pretty close. I'm not sure what my final E2 level was, but it must be good enough that I'm going to trigger tomorrow evening and go in for the ER early Monday morning. At my age (almost 43), the RE seems to be thrilled with my progress, so I guess I am as well. :-)

DH is really fretting about multiples, but right now, it's the least of my concerns. I'm just going to have all positive thoughts!

Sharon

Yay, Sharon! Looks like you, me, and Barbara are right together in this. It does sound like you have plenty of pretty follicles just waiting to become fertilized eggs!
Funny, that's how it is over here. I'm mostly worried that at least one takes, and will take multiples in stride. DH is scared silly about the possibility of twins. I guess it's a man thing

IKWYM! I have to be careful not to tell DH too much about statistics, etc,. because he tends to fixate on the ones that cause him the most anxiety. When I told him that we only have about 8% chance of getting PG (according to my RE early on) due to my age, he doesn't believe that...he thinks whatever gets transferred stays in till delivery. When I mention that the chance of multiples is only 20-30% or so, he thinks it's more of a sure thing and is worried about remodeling the house, LOL I'm just rolling with it.

I'm glad to be cycle buddies with you and Barb, and look forward to hearing from you!

Sharon

I'm so glad you ladies have each other to comisserate with at this time! "D
