No energy to be witty tonight. Just the facts, ma'am.
One egg was retrieved from the two follicles. The good Dr. SheRE claimed the other was a cyst but I think it was just empty or the egg stuck or whatever.
My lining was still crap so we're gonna freeze what we've got (after fertilization report tomorrow--we're hoping to freeze at 2pn stage because that's most successful to freeze at). I can start some other things to plump my lining that I can take while I'm cycling.
We'll do a low stim cycle next and try to get one more or two more so we have multiple embryos to put back. That should be much easier on me. They're gonna give us the drugs and charge us a whole lot less. They're also opening a clinic MUCH closer to me so I should be able to get more follow-up done there. I guess I'll find out more from tomorrow's call.
I bought some fun pink fuzzy velour socks for my special day today and they were swell. I also got the free clinic nightshirt and it is lovely. I wonder if I get another one if I do another retrieval? Now I'm just working hard to make it to transfer so I get the CD. I'm all about the swag.
Thanks to all who've commented, sent good wishes, and checked in on me. It really means so very much to me.
OK, back to bed for me.
I have to admit that I never thought of freezing the embryos from multiple cycles and, quite frankly, like the idea. I'm hoping with all my heart that it works.

Millie you did it--you made it through that incredible stim cycle. I'm sorry about your lining--but it sounds like the SheRe has a really good plan. Glad to hear the financial costs for the next cycle will be much less. As nice as he parting gifts are...free drugs are way better.
I'll be pulling for that little Sensation!
Now rest.

Congratulations, Millie, for making it through that tough cycle. I hope you get a couple more eggs next time to add to that stash for a FET.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Take it easy!

Millie - I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your eggs get responding next time. Congrats on keeping your spirits up through that nightmare cycle. And I want some socks too!

Millie, I think you're getting some very creative solutions at this clinic. I hope you get some good rest now - and all that great swag later.

It sounds like you have a very good plan for the future. I hope this turns out to be The Little Egg That Could. :-)
