I spoke to my nurse and she is telling me that they have no plans of canceling this cycle. They are just continuing to bring the donor in and testing her E2 levels until they go down and then she can start stimming. She claims this is not uncommon with these young donors - she said something about when they are not used to being on BCPs and then you put them on it, it can throw everything out of whack, so who knows? There is nothing that I can do about it right now except continue to take my lupron shots and vitamins and wait for more information. The one thing that I'm going to be sure to get answers on will be that when she does start stimming, I want to be absolutely sure that they think everything is good with her and that we will get good results. If not, I'd rather take a break and then come back when her body is responding normally, so we'll see. I really don't know what to think at this point, but I'm trying not to get too upset, because if this donor doesn't work out, there are others. Yes, it will delay everything by a month or two but it's not the end of the line - not yet.
In other news - trying to focus on what was good about my day yesterday - 6 a.m. spin class. A friend of mine teaches this class at the gym and she is awesome - so enthusiastic and full of life and energy at 6 a.m. that it is such a great way to start the day. Especially if you are not enthusiastic and full of life at that time in the morning - I love going in and being inspired by her. In fact, she is so good that her class is packed at 6 a.m. - if you are not there by 5:40, you aren't getting a bike. Thankfully, I got the last bike yesterday, so that was good.
Then we took my two nieces, ages 7 and 11, out to dinner last night to celebrate the 11-year-old's birthday. They are so much fun to hang out with. I really enjoy our time with them. The only sad part was that the 7-year-old asked us if we ever want to have a baby. I feel so bad when they ask that. It used to be a common question since we are their only true aunt and uncle. It's just me and my sister and then her husband is an only child. After we got married, they asked the question all the time. However, over the years, I think my sister must have told them to quit asking because they haven't said anything in quite some time. But I guess my younger niece couldn't contain herself. I so wish that we could give them a cousin. It sucks how IF impacts so many people in our lives - not just us.

My clinic has a doctor Q&A forum and a question about E2 and BCPs was just asked.

It seems to match up with what the nurse said.
Hopefully her level is down soon and you can get the show on the road.
You must REALLY have a good spinning instructor to get up that early for a class! I'm very impressed. There isn't much that could get me out of bed at that hour. LOL!
I hope your donor's E2 comes down. It's good to hear though that they think nothing is really wrong. You have a good attitude about it, actually. But really, I'm still trying to comprehend the whole idea of a 6am spin class being fun. Oh my! But the instructor sounds awesome since she can pack the class!
I always got asked by freinds' kids about when I was going to have a baby too. At least with kids you never feel any animosity because it's just an innocent question. In a way it's kind of sweet to realize that in their tender, young minds, they think that if you are an adult and married, you should of course have a baby. Ah, if only it were that simple! I hope that in a few short months you can tell them "Soon!"
Crossing my fingers for a successful cycle!
Your niece's question is sweet and sad. I had a nephew who was younger, but said similar things.
