Everything is looking "great"

Just got back from the u/s. Everything looked great. I have four decent size follies on my right and five on my left. I hear lots of elevens, twelves and some tens for numbers. The nurse said it was great and that she expects to see even more on Friday when I have my next ultra sound. I don't really have a frame of reference right now so I don't know if this is good or average. My nurse was kind of crappy today so I didn't ask as many questions as I would have otherwise. She just kept saying everything looked great and that was about it. Oh, and I think they said my lining was at 10?

I asked if everything looked good for an estimated retrieval date of Sunday and she just looked at me weird and said it would definitely not be Sunday. When I pointed out that three other nurses gave me that as a date and it was also written in my chart/schedule thing she just said it was an estimate but it would NOT be Sunday. Ugh. I know it is because of Easter. I had asked from the very start if Easter was going to be a problem and they insisted it wasn't. Apparently, they lied. I also wonder if that is why the Dr. dropped my medication down - so that they could push it off another day? Who knows. I guess I should just be happy that everything is looking great and that I am responding. I just want everything to go well and have no hidden surprises.

The nurse said we'll have a much better idea on Friday but that retrieval could be on Monday or Tuesday now. She also bugged me about signing the forms stating whether or not we wanted to freeze our embryos. I just nodded and said we'd do it very soon. I just don't know what to do. I am 95% sure that we won't freeze but I just can't commit to that decision. I'm procrastinating and I can be really good at that when I want to.
