I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!
CCRM just called and gave me the go ahead on starting stims tomorrow. So I start with 75 iu Menopur in the morning, 150 iu Gonal F in the evening, reduce Lupron to 5 iu, and continue on the dexamethasone.
I asked my local RE here about the lower doses, and he thinks it's fair to start low and see how I respond, and increase the dose if need be. Also he said that my ovaries are showing a decent number of antral follicles, and according to him, things are looking better than they did at my last couple of IVFs with him.
I have my first follie u/s and blood work on Tuesday, and we are scheduled to fly to Denver on Wednesday! Wow - we just have 4 full days before we leave!
2008 is drawing to a close as well. Actually I can't wait for the year to be over - 2008 brought with it many many trials and tribulations, and I'm ready to move on to the next chapter, the next calendar of events. Last year, after our m/c, we thought that nothing could be worse, and that 2008 would definitely be a better year. We know better now. Things COULD be worse, and they were.
I'm looking forward to 2009 to bring us the change in the direction of the wind that we all so desperately need.

Yay Nikki! I'm so glad that everything looks good and how it's supposed to right now! Horray for getting started and no more waiting. I second you on welcoming 2009 with open arms and ready for change! : )
Awesome!!! It is really underway! I cannot wait for '09!!!
Glad to hear your body is responding well, sorry you have to wait even longer, hopefully 2009 is what you need though, a nice fresh start in all areas. I know I'm welcoming 2009 and praying for a better year, 2008 has just been the weirdest year I've had in a long time and bid it a bitter sweet good bye.
Happy Holidays =D
Yay for the good antrals!
I think 2009 is the year for a sea change - everything is ready for a better chance for success, and it feels like the time is right. I have nothing but the highest hopes for you, and I can't wait to hear how it goes at CCRM.
Happy New Year!
I am so excited for you. I think that this is our year ;)
Almost time!!!
I'm very hopeful for you both! Seems that CCRM is such a great clinic to go to. I bet it's nice to just be able to put your trust into a set of doctors.
it's so close now! Good thing they are starting slow on the meds. I like that.
Hoping that 2009 will bring you your most dear wish. :)
