Im so happy that the consultant said I am all ready to start the stimulating injections - I told him afterwards that I would have cried if he said I had to wait any longer!
So, the scan went well. There were 4 follicles visible on one side and 3 on the other. Hopefully a couple more will be apparent this time next week when I have my next scan. Endometrium lining was less than 1mm which is how he said it should be right now and that it will start to get thicker as the follicles grow.
He has also said that I can reduce the suprecur dose given that it is making me depressed, so that should help. The nurse gave me my first Gonal-F (ovarian stimulation) injection today and I will carry on with them tomorrow.
Provisional egg collection is booked in for tuesday 7th December which means testing day will be around 21st December, eek!
I had a lovely experience during a meditation yesterday. It was as if I was overhearing a conversation but knew that it was actually some part of me that was speaking. I heard: "I shall look after you now, I am ready to take responsibility for a new life". After hearing that and my crystal friend seeing a vision of my child whilst treating me, I am feeling quite positive.

Hi Claire
You said Dec 7.... You're stimming for 2 weeks? I started stims yesterday and will stim for 10-12 days, so EC would be Dec 1-3 timeframe. Let me know.. I am curious now!
Oooh, you are on the short protocol right? Perhaps its because im on the long protocol so they start from scratch with stimming the ovaries. With the short protocol dont they time it with a natural increase in FSH in the first few days of the the cycle? Could be why its shorter? or I could be completely off!!!!
I just asked the nurse how long and she said on average 2 weeks and then booked me in provisionaly for the egg collection!?
hmmmm, not sure! Yes, I am on short protocol... started stims on CD3. Now on CD6 I have one follie at 1.2 and 5 others that are just under 1.0. Anyway, it's different for everyone, and I'm sure your nurse is right, not me!!!
I had another thought about the stimming thing...if it is 2 weeks until egg collection then I would do the trigger shot on day 12 then EC on day 14, so would still be actually stimming for 12 days?
Glad your follies are nice and even sized, I know you were worried about it. Its all another step closer to that christmas BFP!!!
