XP from IF: update on today's IVF u/s

I thought today would be my last u/s before ER, but in the end it's at least one more u/s tomorrow morning, one more night of stims tonight.  My RE said she thought I've got 6 follicles, maybe as many as 8-9, but there were 7 over 10 mm so I guess we'll see; a couple are at 17 and 15.  E2 is 420-something (is that low? no one at the clinic has said anything), lining looks perfect.  So at the moment the thought is ER on Thursday.  My RE said she's "very happy" with the results thus far, given what she thought we'd get with my low AMH.

Bummer: she won't be around for the ET, but her husband will be.  I like him, so I guess I feel ok with that (plus he has more experience even than she does), but I wonder if signals are going to get crossed, since she thinks I should be doing a 3-day transfer (and maybe even a 2-day if needed), but when I talked to him a few weeks ago he was talking about a 5-day one.  I know that's the ideal, but my RE appears to be very wary of letting it go that long.  Hope I don't end up with conflicting advice from her husband!!  But first:  hope there ARE embryos and that they grow!!! 

More soon....
