Same meds. Another u/s on Tuesday. Likely trigger on Tuesday then ER on Thursday.


Not feeling a huge amount of hope here but I've feel ok. I am a realist and I am at peace with the fact that my eggs are bad. I'm sad but ok.

Just want to finish this cycle. See what happens. If I get really lucky and get pregnant then great. If not (which seems the more likely scenario) the donor is available. I can start to move on a DE cycle in a few weeks.

The silver lining of DE is that I might get to have 2 more babies instead of one more. I really want more than 2 kids. Mr. Peeveme is pretty set on only one more. But if we do DE:

1) the donor will probably produce many eggs and we'd have many embryos. FET anyone?

2) I feel that is would be kinder to have two DE kids. They'd have the same genetic make-up. They'd have someone who shared their genetics, experience and be able to relate someone while growing up. It just feels like the right thing to do. Not that I'm getting ahead of myself or anything. I have a need to plan, think things through, try on different scenarios. It takes me a very long time to get used to and idea. The longer I can ruminate on it the easier it is for me.

Had a blast at the reunion. Will be telling stories soon.
