trubabe, I hope you're surrounding by tiny puppies by now! I also hope you made it to your scan/etc to get your own pg started!

Jaki, I'm so sorry you had to lose your little emby. I had my first chem pg in September and all I can say is take the time to grieve. It's a loss, no matter how early. I share the same fear as you of having another one, but many women go on to have a healthy pg and there's no reason to expect otherwise.

Hi to everyone else! I may not say a lot, but I'm cheering you on from the sidelines!

Afm, we had our scan this morning. I was a little surprised, to be honest. In the past I've needed 12 days of puregon before EPU. So, today being day 8 of stims, I'd expect to be around the size where it's time to start the orgalutran (~12mm). Imagine my surprised when my follies were between 16-21mm!!

So, of course, now I'm ever-so-slightly freaking out and worrying that my LH levels have already started to surge. I'm supposed to start the orgalutran tonight (any suggestions on what time? my FS didn't say) and go back on Friday. Which brings me to concern #2 - my FS still wants to do the EPU on Monday and I'm worried I'll end up with over-mature eggs.

Anyway, I'm not sure if it was the change in protocol (no suppression before FSH) or the acupuncture, but I'm responding a lot more quickly and we saw 7 decent sized follies, with possibly a few more hiding on my "hard-to-find-because-its-hiding-behind-my-uterus" left ovary. I'm just praying that we get to EPU and collect enough good eggs to do a blastocyst transfer!
