Day 6 of stims

Tonight will be day 6 of stims for me. I stimmed for 9 days last time and this time they're expecting me to go for 10 days, for ER on the 4th. At my first check my lining was a bit thin (I had some bleeding and still have a bit) so I started drinking pomegranate juice to try and build it up a little. Here are my numbers from this morning:

Lining: 4mm, +3 type

Right Ovary: 1 @ 11mm, 8 more less than 10mm

Left Ovary: 1 @ 11mm, 12 more less than 10mm

So, we're looking ~22 possible follicles this time. It's less than the first IVF, which kinda scares me given out fertilization rate the first time, but I'm hoping that our quality will be pristine this time. I haven't seen my doctor this cycle yet, only the other female doctor. I'll see him for my ER and ET, so I'm not real worried. I just like him much more than this female doctor. :)

Since we're expecting my ER to be on the 4th, we've been trying to figure out how to handle family get-togethers for that day/weekend. It's so hard to keep this under wraps. We hate lying to people, but at the same time, telling them that we have ER that day will have them counting on their calendars trying to figure out when I'll know if it worked again. -sigh- I just hope we have some good news to give them.
