Well the technician lost count this morning during the u/s so that is a good sign. She said she thinks I am ready, but will have to wait to hear from the Dr.... I'll give an update once they call. I hate how they make you wait till late afternoon.....geez....

Oh Gosh Heather how exciting! I cannt believe you re already at trigger stage. That is such a good # of follies. Do you know how large they are yet? They should be around 1- 20 if the nurse already talked about trigger.

wow wow wow. Time has flown! Here's to BFP!

They ranged in size from 13-20. Mostly 19's & 20's. And I have one that was 23! That was a big guy! I told her I only wanted the winners!!
