@poppies717 and @islandmonkey8 - so excited and happy for you both.
@Xan84 - hoping you get some great news!
@amandaf6383 - looking good, doll!!
I am still stimming. As of this morning, I have 48 (yes, you read that correctly- 48) measurable follies. We are for sure doing a freeze all and I sincerely hope we have some babies to freeze at the end of this road. The last few days have been a shit show- fed ex had a delay and the meds I absolutely needed Tuesday night did not show until yesterday afternoon. My anxiety is off the charts and I am ready for this to be done. Concerned for OHSS obviously, but am now on cetrotide and will start dostinex after trigger. All good vibes and positive thoughts welcome
@Xan921 I hope the biopsy comes back with good news!
Update: just trying to figure out my crazy chart and if I O'ed... Any input? My temps are low so I just don't know. My temps are alway low though, so who knows... Bfn yesterday at 12dpo (dpo according to FF). Will try again tomorrow maybe. If still neg, then I either wait for AF and/or assume I never ovulated. Wait another week or two then get Provera. Yippee.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
@rockabye - I'm no expert but in my opinion, it looks like you O'd. That's a pretty good temp spike and your temps have stayed above your cover line. FX for you!! Hope you just tested a little early!
Update: Really no update. Sticking with acupuncture, AF is due next week. I'm temping here and there but I don't want to stress about it so I'm kind of not strict with it.

@amandaf6383 - You look hot!!! Ow ow!
@sweetpotato123 - 48 follies?! Wow! You go girl!
@rockabye - I'm on mobile, so I can't see it. I really hope you O'd!
@sewilson33 - How do you like acupuncture? Our RE offers it, so I've been thinking a lot about it.
@rccola1981 - Yay for school being almost out! Good luck with foster-adopting!
@poppies717 - Thinking of you girl! Yay for your adoption paperwork! Boo for ugly 3T!
@islandmonkey8 - Still so excited for your news!
Update: meeting with RE on Monday to talk about options. Hope AF holds out a little bit longer, so we can get started next month. I haven't temped at all this month, so I have no idea where I am. I'm starting to get a little nervous about what is going to happen, but am excited to move on!
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
I hope the adoption seminar was helpful though!
@Xan921 I hope this is it for you love!
@amandaf6383 awesome work out!!
@poppies717 good luck with the paperwork! That sucks about DH's friend
Update: sono hsg today... Kicking my own ass with t25 and food and the ymca.... Local nutritionist sucked might try the one 1.5 hours away from me north of Boston that RE recommended but I hesitated to see due to distance

I love acupuncture! My acupuncturist is very informative about what she is doing and why. She's been targeting my fertility spots, hormone spots, digestive spots, and stress spots. I can actually feel a difference in my digestive system and in my tension. I have (knock on wood) not had any mid cycle spotting at all so far. Which was our main concern.
I leave there every week feeling like I had a therapy session but without the crying and talking.
It's been helping my mood and my sex life since I started.
