Something you said on my blog gave me that impression. If so, I will be there from March 13-April 5. Does that match up at all? If so, let me know. I know how stressful this gets and if I can do anything to support you let me know. (Either in T.O. or otherwise.)

I just feel more comfortable with it since my first IVF I started my period 4 days before test day.

Unfortunately, I will have to use the big ass needles this time around, but I'm beyond caring. Plus, I know that the shots are not the hard part of the whole process. I just have to keep telling myself that - "the shots are not the hard part, the shots are not the hard part..."<BR/><BR/>Good luck on making those hard decisions. I think I would do a SET under the circumstances, but that's just me.Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668069274859889749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461970546742628979.post-28331977130037493832009-01-25T21:29:00.000-05:002009-01-25T21:29:00.000-05:00Woo hoo, it's getting close!

She was 23. My fresh cycle yielded twins and she cycled about 6 months later and the fresh cycle also resulted in twins. Both fresh transfers were done at day 2. You have some serious decisions to make, darling!<BR/><BR/>I'm only sorry I will be sunning myself in the south when you do your transfer.....

We experts might also wonder if extra embryos will be thawed to make sure you have enough for transfer.<BR/><BR/>My understanding of the full bladder is that the liquid makes it easier to "visualize" the body because the ultrasound waves bounce off of the liquid.<BR/><BR/>I hope your expensive and cheapie POAS all come up positive!Baby Smiling In Back Seathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483533946303787478noreply@blogger.com
