Oh so stimulating

I'm shocked and amazed to find out that after a "normal" interval of Lupron, I'm ready to start stims. Amazing to me after last cycle when I wouldn't reach baseline. Tonight I shot up with 225 of Follistim, and we're looking at retrieval sometime between August 1st and August 6th.

I'm currently enjoying my evening watching an encore of my Chicago White Sox and Mark Buehrle pitch a perfect game. Amazing! It's exciting to watch even though I know the outcome.

A good night...

    Let's go follies! Sending good follicle thoughts your way.

    About the White Sox game, being a Twins fan, I typically hate the sox. But I was so happy for him, I was crying... I know I am such a sap.

    Congrats on the scheduled retrieval! I know what you mean about needing a vacay - ditto! I would love to go to Greece, including the islands like Santorini. I was supposed to go a few years ago with a group of friends for a wedding that was going to take place there. But alas, the Big-C stepped in. Ugh.

    So, thanks for your intro in the previous post, and go follies go!!

    I think starting stims right on track is a great sign of what's to come! Congrats on getting past that hurdle. August will be here before you know it- I bet this cycle will fly by compared to your last IVF. :)

    Happy ICLW!

    Good luck with stims! I hope you get lots of eggs!

    As for you questions on your post below, I'd like to go on vacation to Tahiti. I have nothing interesting, though. Ummm I can cook and sort of bake? Is that interesting enough? lol

    Thanks for the compliment on my cake. It was a nerve racking thing to do! But it turned out well, I suppose!
