Ok, just a brief post to brag on my sister a bit: antral follicle count as of this morning for her: 11 on one side and 7 on the other. Woo hoo! We'll have to wait til this afternoon to get her FSH levels and such, but the doc doing the ultrasound sound said she'd 'make a great donor.'
I'm so thankful to her. Even though her work was shut down today (for the weather), she drove in to the clinic near her office in the crappy road conditions. On top of that, she had to leave my older nephew who has been throwing up every ~ 2-3 hours since 11 p.m. last night. Luckily, my BIL's office was closed today too so he was able to stay home with the kids.
I made it out of our driveway to the clinic nearest me for a beta and progesterone level check. We'll see this afternoon what those numbers bring.
And my sister and I did discuss just continuing forward. Freezing her eggs if we get that far and I'm not ready (because I'm still pregnant or because I've had to have a D&C and am delayed a month or so). I'm really grateful to her for thinking so practically about it all.

You are lucky to have such a wonderful sister!
ReplyDeleteI love your sister for what she is doing for you - so glad you have that relationship! And I would be bragging on her too, wow, 18 antrals is amazing! I am so jealous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous sister! I think this is a good idea - freezing her eggs if you're not ready. Just in case!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the beta...
Good luck with everything today!! You clearly have an amazing sister.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING sister. It is so great that you have this to think about while you wait and see on the current pregnancy. I imagine that saves you a lot of insanity.
ReplyDeleteI am just SO SO happy for you!!! Either way, you're getting a baby soon! (And I really hope this one sticks-- oh, do I ever hope!!)
Just read both posts - I'm stunned. How totally and utterly cool. You have a BFP and a great donor option. Whatever happens, this time next year, you are gonna be one loving mum!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations :-)
Your sister is amazing!! And how on hearth did I miss your BFP!! Oh my God you so felt it this month! I know I know it's almost impossible to get excited, but still. A little bit of hope...never hurt anyone...much love
ReplyDeleteWow! What a strong relationship you and your sister have. You both are incredible women!
ReplyDeleteShe's a rockstar!
