CD12 - still stimming...

So I am on CD12 and still stimming. I was SO hoping tomorrow would be my retrieval, but no such luck. Things ARE looking good - I've got like 7 or 8 follies on the left and 2 or 3 on the right, but they are only averaging 11/12 mm right now...and the nurse/doc want them to be around/over 18.

SO I have another appointment Monday morning. And from there we'll see if I need to continue stimming a few more days and have another appointment on Wednesday, shooting for a Friday retrieval or if we can push up retrieval earlier...

I just need to be patient. :) I mean, after all, I've waited 2.5 years for this, what's another couple of days?! :D

It does suck, though, that we are really close to running out of $$...

I know that's actually CHEAPER than what some end up paying and I am VERY thankful we found an affordable doctor who's also been VERY great to us!

I just hope and pray this works - OR at least to have some frozen embys out of it so if we do have to do this again, an FET is soooooo much cheaper.

But, of course, I hope and pray that this works!
