We arrived safely in Denver

We arrived on-time around 11am this morning in Denver. It is COLD, but it will be warming up over the next few days. The good news: we found somewhere that was open serving Thanksgiving dinner. The food was yummy and definitely hit the spot! Thanks Christi for the recommendation. For all current/future CCRM patients, it was Mimi's Cafe located off Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree. They also have a great looking breakfast menu!

We have to be at CCRM tomorrow around 11:30am. We have to sign consent forms, get my E2 and P4 b/w drawn, and I'm also doing acupuncture pre-transfer. We don't know which doc yet will be doing the transfer (I forgot to ask yesterday), but our transfer will take place at 1:45pm. Then, I'll be doing acupuncture post-transfer as well. Throwing in every chance possible for success here, so I didn't pass on the acupuncture.

We are both so excited! Hope all of you had great turkey days!!

Woo Hoo!!! Glad you're there! I did the acu, too. Couldn't hurt, could it? Wasn't exactly relaxing tho, b/c I had to PEE the entire time.

Did you know Mimi's is owned by Bob Evans? Random useless trivia...

Good luck, Jill!!!!

Best of luck with the transfer!

If you happen to go back to Mimi's, I have some very fond memories of their muffins. That seems like a good comfort food while you take it easy for a few days.

Glad you made it safe...looks like Mimi's is popular amongst us CCRMer's - Alex and I went there is well, and, your right, their breakfast is to-die-for.

Best of luck tomorrow!

Jill, I'm soooooo jealous but thrilled for you to be in Denver! And on Thanksgiving - such a good omen! :)

Thanks for posting on "my next destination." Gosh I hope I'm not being foolishly optimistic but I really feel great about a DE cycle - that it'll definitely work out. Yes, I have definitely heard of a person here or there that isn't successful for for the most part, a fresh DE cycle at CCRM is as close to a sure thing as anything can be.

I remember Dr. Surrey saying to me that when it's an anonymous donor the number is closer to 90% birth rate (dips down to 80-85% because the known donors are in there too - people who aren't always the "best" candidates for donation but whom are chosen by the recipient(s)).

Gosh I hope my enthusiasm and confidence doesn't bite me on the behind!

Anyhoo, back to you - I will be watching closely and can't wait to see belly pics posting in the coming months!
