Yep that's right. We have 17 embryos at this point. We'll find out tomorrow how the "baseball team" is doing. Everything seems to be on track for the scheduled Thursday transfer.
Yesterday to pass the time we went to the movies. Narnia 3D. So much fun!
Not much on the schedule for today. Just hanging out at the hotel for most of the day. Perhaps we'll play RISK...a family favorite board game. We'll see what happens.

Update #2
Wanna hear a joke? Leave it to a pregnant infertile to blow her nose and see a tinge of red on the tissue and instantly panic. And then she remembers it came from her nose, not her vagina. And calmness resumes. I borrowed this from a fellow bloggerVenting Vagina
The email from the nurse this morning indicated that the donor has 15 follicles ranging from 14mm to 17mm. Not quite the 24 follies that we had 2 days ago but still a HELL of a lot more that I have myself.
She goes back in on Saturday for one more ultrasound then takes her trigger in the evening. Then that's it until 36 hours later for the retrieval.
I start my new medication protocol on Sunday (I originally thought it was Monday). POI, 4mg of estrace, progesterone suppositories x3 a day, still taking 81mg of aspirin and pregvit.
Work is busy trying to wrap things up here before I'm gone next week. I'm a bit worried for when I come back I have a few large functions that I need to organize upon my return in addition to whatever else fall on my desk in the next week.
I also anticipate that one of my collegues is going to quit in the next week or so...she just waiting for find another job then she is going to give her notice. So much for the first trimester not being full of stress...

Stim Day!
My donor is supposed to start her stims today! Seems so exciting to have something change even if it not yet with my personal cycle.
I'm really hoping that the next '10 sleeps' goes by really fast... I feel like this has taken forever already.

.75 mm and 3x stripe!
Woot woot! Just waiting for my clinic to get the results then send me the rest of my protocol.
J was hilarious at the clinic...I need more time and not be at work to type it so stay tuned for later.
UPDATE
So we were late this morning getting to the clinic by 15 minutes. I HATE being late, I HATE wasting people time. Any who, they were ready right away and said "C right this way" so I went right in an J followed me in. No problem I don't care if he's there for the ultrasound but I was surprised he joined me and told him so when the nurse left. He stopped in his tracks when we got in the room and said why, looked around and realized the probe like instrument was what was about to be in his wife and pretty much ran out of the room as fast as he could.
The doctor came in, did the ultrasound and all is good! He described my uterus as a wonderful 'hamburger' shape. I have never had my lady bits described as a food item before.
So I left the room and got J so we could learn how to do the shots. We sat down to learn what to do and the nurse was really nice and all was pretty simple.
We left the clinic and were waiting for the elevator and I realized I didn't tell him about the lining results. But I didn't realize the the doctor went out and showed J the pictures and described my 'hamburger' to him. J told me that hamburgers were out of the picture for dinner for a while...to bad I was craving them yesterday.
My clinic told me they got the results a few hours later and that we have lots of time to get the lining to .8mm. They are also going to let me know later when to start the shots.
So all in all a pretty good day!

Yippeee!!!
A big step today...
Got my protocol and the donor termination of parental rights documents...I'll update with more details later...yea!!!
Ok so here is the update:
What a busy email day...
It started with an email from the clinic with my protocol and medical consent forms to fill out. Yippee! Estrace 4mg twice a day starting on December 30th, ultrasound on the 12th to see where my lining is...depending on the results of the ultrasound will predict the rest of the protocol. But if all goes well I'll take my progesterone shots, 1cc once a day, (ouch) and progesterone suppositories (yuck) 3x a day. Then we should be in T.O. for transfer the last week of January.
My eyes are crossed by all of the pages of medical and legal mumbo jumbo...I forwarded the documents to our lawyer. We should hear back from her next week.
So excited!
