Full Steam Ahead

HSG on 5/26 was all clear, so we are ON for this cycle!

The stats from yesterday's check...
Ultrasound
Follicles:
    L: one 17 mm
    R: one 17 mm
Lining: 10 mm

My ovaries looked pretty darn good, if I may say so myself. The large number of cysts I had last cycle seem to have disappeared (I didn't see them and the RE didn't mention seeing any), and I don't feel like my ovaries are the size of grapefruits this cycle, which is great.

Bloodwork
E2: 292
Progesterone: 0.4
FSH: 5 (I think-- I'll have to check that)

I am very happy with that CD13 E2 number. It's not quite the 200-per-mature-follicle they'd like to see, but it is so much better than last time. (Last cycle my E2 was 167 on CD15, the day we triggered.)

We got the call from the RE's office late yesterday afternoon. He wants us to trigger Thursday night (tonight, CD14) and come in for a Saturday morning IUI.

We decided this cycle that we wouldn't mention anything about possible out of town trips to the RE (we both suspect that-- despite our protests-- the RE's office took my work trip into account when scheduling the last IUI, and we maybe triggered a little too early). So on the up-side, we are confident that this is the best timing the RE could possibly suggest. On the down-side, though, we're going to have to back out of attending the wedding of a good friend at the last minute (the wedding is Saturday afternoon, far out of town [we have plane tickets]). I feel so awful about doing that to her (I hated it that a couple of people RSVP'd to our wedding but then didn't come). Even though we weren't planning to tell any of our IRL friends about ttc, we may spill the beans to her so she knows we are only missing her wedding because of something really important. Hopefully she'll forgive us!
