Deb, Stef, Relks, Keo, Heartcore, springtime, ry, kdw: thanks for the votes of confidence about following my gut. I have my sounding scheduled for Friday so I'll see the RE again and then I'll see what my gut says then. You guys are great. :-)

Whitney - herein lies my dilemma. I was super impressed with how thorough the 2nd RE was and, based on my lap, he seems like a terrific surgeon. BUT his SART stats are a bit lacking, particularly in the last reporting year. (however, in his defense, they don't do too many per year so it's hard to call it a valid statistical set. A few unfortunate BFNs can really through off his track record.) Also, his office is a bit disheveled and his colleague has a reputation as being less than stellar. I had decided to go back to Cornell simply b/c their lab is so flippin' good...
Thanks again for all of your insight and your willingness to "talk" me through this. You rocka mah world.

Heartcore - although not romantic (and downright sterile), it would be amazing if you conceived on the "anniversary cycle". It would be like planets aligning!

kdw - good luck o'ing. I still can't get over how beneficial your surgery has been!!

kdw and heartcore - LOL great minds think alike.

Hi to everyone else!

One question: has anyone gotten anti-bloat from metformin? I just upped my dose to 1500 mg and I've noticed my fingers and feet are thinner (I tend to be a water retainer). I've also noticed that my skin has cleared (but that may just be where I am in my cycle) and I got a good dose of EWCM this AM. It'd be terrific if it's really working ...
