We're in the home stretch!!

Our appointment this morning went really good. My lining is at 10 (which is great - they like to see at least 7 by trigger). My E2 (estrogen) is 1675. My ovaries are quite plump. All of my follicles are between 18 and 25 (with one little guy at 15 but that one should probably even be ready to go by Friday!). All in all it was a great visit. I signed all the paperwork for egg retrieval and embryo transfer. They're definitely doing ICSI - she says to get things moving. :-) I wasn't sure how I'd feel today - today was my estimated due date for our little angel. I amazingly feel quite positive and happy. I'm very glad that we're in cycle and this close to having another pregnancy. It's making this day much easier on me. When we got to the doc they put us in the "bad" room. Which I can't really call it the bad room anymore because so far this cycle it's produced great results. :-) That was the room that they told us our little Angel's heart had stopped so it was kind of bittersweet for me. On a positive note I felt like he or she was watching over us and giving us his or her support through this. I just feel very warm and relaxed today. SO I think everything is good and I'm feeling much more positive and well watched over. Everyone may think I'm nuts but I did this Lunar Conception Calendar which takes the day/time/place you were born and tells you which day of each month is the optimal day for getting pregnant. WELL - guess what day that falls on this month! March 28th - my egg retrieval day - the day my eggs will be fertilized! A very good omen right!?? SO I'm nuts and a little superstitious but everything seems to be falling in place and I can just feel my Grandmother and my little Angel by my side and watching over us through this. I think everything will be ok. Thanks for reading my crazy post. Apparently the hormones are picking up! Today I take my Ganirelex shot at 10:15am and then I take my hCG trigger shot tonight at 10pm. No shots tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital at 7:00am on Friday morning and Egg Retrieval is scheduled at 8:00am! I'm scheduled for Embryo Transfer Monday morning. Everything is getting very real! :-) Crossing my fingers and saying lots of prayers that all goes well and this is the one that does it for us. :-)
