I am headed to FS this morning for our first scan. Hopefully he'll be able to give us some good news, and start to plan our EPU for later in the week. This is my first cycle, and I know that everyone is different, but do you girls know what is considered a "good" cycle? Around 12 eggs? I'm hoping to get some frosties too this cycle.

Neptune - I did back-to-back flare cycles. The reason for this was as follows: 1 - I had no luck with my first cycle and only 1 frozen remained, 2 - I was afraid that 1 frozen was not enough to do a natural, 3 - I was going overseas for what would have been the cycle after the natural cycle and I didn't want to lose 2-3 months if my frozen embryo didn't make it. My FS was willing although she did say that it's very hard on the body and the results may not be that good. As it turns out, none of the embryos survived from the 2nd of the 2 back-to-backs so we reverted to using the frozen embryo. As it turns out, that 1 frozen was my lucky one. I don't think there's a right answer and it's so easy to 2nd guess your decisions. However, I have to say, I felt a bit more in control of a completely uncontrollable situation by making the decision about how I wanted to do my cycles. Then again, my FS seemed to be right about the results of the 2nd of the 2 back-to-backs.
Had my scan today and the technician (spelling??) was new. I took me over 30 mins for a scan that generally takes 10 mins. Then I get to the clinic and get told my lining is 8mm not 9mm as it needs to be to book in for the transfer . So they wanted to rescan on Thursday, which doesn't work for me as it is Oaks Day and half the staff in my office are going to the races (not me I have to be at work). So another scan is scheduled for Friday and hopefully a day 3 transfer next Monday.
I asked if I could use my day 5's, but they said that they always use the day 3's first as if they don't make the thaw then you can always use day 5's in the same cycle. But if I choose day 5's and they don't make it then the cycle has to be cancelled. I just don't know what to do..... They don't even thaw day 3's and let then grow to day 5 to see if they are good or not.
I'm feeling really low at the moment, and am already fed up with the whole process. It seems that when everything starts working to plan then some obstacle gets in the way.
that the scan on Friday shows the lining to be 9mm or more as I don't really want to wait too much longer. Today is day 14 in my cycle, so by Friday I'll be at day 18 and day 21 at transfer. So if this cycle is too long and it doesn't work, I probably won't get another in before Xmas.
