I want to read everyone's posts, but I have to come back later. I have a final tonight in 6 hours and need to knock that out first. But I wanted to post because I'm so excited -- I got my first trigger shot ever today  I had four follies: 21, 20, 16, 16. The doc is pretty confident that I'll get 2 good eggs out of the deal. He went ahead and triggered me today in hopes of keeping those 16s from blessing me with triplets or quads. I also got progesterone suppositories to start tomorrow. I'm so excited! Here goes!! I know my hopes shouldn't be SO high considering this is my first TTCMA cycle ever, but they are. This is just in time for a Christmas BFP -- who wouldn't be hopeful?
I know I'm new to a lot of you, and I know a lot of ladies have been TTCAL a long time (myself included, but I haven't been active in the forums lately). I understand if your heart isn't into watching me make this journey as I watch you make yours. It's always so hard to see people you aren't yet invested in getting knocked up if you've been trying forever. It's joyful, yes, but there's also that sense of jealousy about it. "You've posted here all of twice and now you have a BFP? What gives?!" So I promise, no hard feelings if there's a lack of enthusiasm surrounding the new girl's trigger shot.
I just had to get it out. Now, to study. Then tonight, come home and catch up on posts. I'm so happy to be here!

I'm new here myself, but I just wanted to share that I am happy for you, and will definitely look forward to hearing about your BFP. Far from being jealous, success stories should make us all hopeful that it will happen for us, too. You deserve happiness. KUP!

I would be so scared of having another 2 little NICU babies. Twins can potentially come with so many difficulties, including the chance of another two losses  BUT... If we DID get twins, I would mostly be excited. I would also be changing my schedule to be as stress-free as possible. My entire lifestyle would change.
