Our donor started stimulating last weekend and we are starting to receive our ultrasound reports! According to our nurse, she is brewing a lot of follies down there! So many that they couldn't get an accurate count! They had to change her to a low dose stim this morning because they don't want to hyperstimulate her ovaries, which puts her at risk for OHSS. Our retrieval was set for Tuesday morning, but since they are going to slow the process a bit it may occur on Wednesday. She is having another ultrasound tomorrow morning and we will have a better idea by then!Our nurse said that she feels like we made a very good match this time around. It's about time, haha! She said that with the number of follies she wouldn't be surprised if we had some snowbabies to set aside. We do have to remember that quality is better than quantity, but we are feeling pretty optimistic about this cycle! Woohoo!!!
If the retrieval occurs Wednesday, then that puts us at Saturday for a 3-day transfer, or Monday for a 5-day transfer. Happy 4th of July to us! We will head down to Charleston next Friday if everything goes as planned. I am taking off work the entire week after that so that I don't have to be whipped by the slave driver which will lessen my chances of this working. We've put too much into this to have it ruined by stress! I will be on bed rest for a few days, and then get to enjoy the company of my little sis visiting from Chicago along with my other sister and niece coming to visit!
Also, please pray for my best friend and her hubby who just had their first IUI perfomed...they have been trying for over 4 years. How often does an infertile couple have a BFF going through the same hell? It definitely helps to have someone who can honestly relate! Wishing her the best and hoping that we can raise our babies together!
I will be in touch. Hopefully this will be the last weekend we share as a couple...by next weekend I could be growing our family! Please pray!

So excited that the donor has started and things are looking so optimistic. You definitely deserve some good things happening. I have everything crossed for a successful ER, ET and BFP!!!
Count on it Jessica...you and Andy are in my prayers!! Safe travels and keep the updates coming!
It is so nice to hear that things are going well. I will pray for some fantastic quality eggs for you and I will pray for you BFF too. What hell we are faced with. This is such an awful thing to go through, but it is lovely that your BFF and yourself totally understand what the other is going through and can provide support and love. Congratulations and good luck!
Keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you and your husband, Jessica. AND for your friend. How crazy is it that you are both going through infertility? I'm just so glad you have each other to lean on.
Good luck to both of you!
Hey there I'm a new follower and was reading some of your posts. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you so that you get your BFP! :)
This sounds very promising! Combine that with some time off for stress relief and those embryos will have a really good start! Can't wait to follow along over the next few weeks... exciting! Wish you the best!
