Well friends, I'm happy to report that things are looking good. Our donor has been "triggered" today, which means that her eggs will be retrieved on Monday. The doctors are expecting somewhere around 10-11 eggs. Usually I think about 2/3 will fertilize if everything is normal. Having 6-8 embryos would be great for increasing our chances of actually getting pregnant.
As for my end of things, my lining did get to 15-16mm thick, but the doctor said this is fine. They aren't worried about it at all!
I think I'm finally able to relax and breathe a little. Maybe even smile from time to time :)
My next update from the facility will be on Tuesday telling us how many eggs they ultimately retrieved and how many fertilized. After that, I'll get a report on Thursday morning for how many are still growing and what quality they are. There's about a 20% chance I would go to transfer on Thursday morning, and about an 80% chance the transfer would Saturday. Whatever day it is, I'm then committed to 48hours of bed rest. I'm lining up the books and movies right now!
