Well I actually made it to my 8:00 class on time, but I didn't start on time as I had sent the students an email saying class would start at 8:10 in light of my 7:30am laboratory appointment (at a hospital 20 minutes from school). I got there a little early, and they took me right away so I actually left the hospital at 7:30. That was an answer to prayer that I made it to class on time.
The nurse called me a little while ago and said my E2 went up to 184. She said they want to see it up around 400. So my EV dosage has been doubled starting tomorrow. She said almost all the patients have their dose doubled. My E2 will be checked again on Thursday, and she said my dosage might be increased again at that point. I also will have an ultrasound on Thursday to make sure my lining is thick enough. She also told me the date of my FET had been moved as Dr. Murphy won't be in on Nov 2. So Dr. Awad will be doing my FET on Nov 1. I had arranged for my GA to cover my classes on Nov 2, and then told her "never mind" after my appt was moved to Nov 2, so I emailed her today to say I do need her to proctor an exam for me in my 8:00, 9:00, and 10:00 classes on Nov 2 as I'll be on bed rest that day. Thankfully it won't pose a problem for Paul to be with me to switch to Thursday. Having the FET date changed means I stop the Lupron on Friday instead of Saturday and means I start the PIO injections on Saturday instead of Sunday. So the prayer request now is that my E2 will be up around 400 on Thursday and that my lining will be thick enough.

cumulative comment... first of all, I want to wish you patience and strength as you go on with this new cycle. I think the baby-aspirin is a good a idea and hope it will halp out. Since I am not familiar with the FET process... how does it work? do they thaw the embryo first or do they transfer it while it is still frozen? If they thaw it, how sooner do they do that? (like, they thaw it and wait to see to make sure it is all right?). Also, I am glad you sorted out all the logistics for the transfer... you waited so long but it's finally around the corner!
On a different note, I enjoyed reading the 15 things about you and Paul... quite neat! Pizza crust is my favorite too, and I leave it last because I like to eat my favorite foods last ;-) (so I guess I a bit like you and a bit ike Paul, LOL!)
Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you ahd Paul!!!
