Stilllll Waiting...Cycle Day 18 Monitoring Appt

I feel like my body is reacting angrily to the past 5 months of BCPs, Lupron, Stim meds, Progesterone, Estrogen and simply just not moving forward.  I went for my CD 18 check, and my lining is 5.7mm (up from 5.3mm but sooo not good enough) and my leading follicle is still only 10mm, which is exactly what it was on Monday.  Needless to say, I am feeling very defeated and the thought of waiting even more weeks than I already have has me really down.  I am still waiting for the call to let me know how my bloodwork came out, but I used an OPK this morning that gave me a big fat zero, so no LH surge, which is what I would expect considering my lining is thin and my eggs aren’t ready to ovulate yet.  I asked my IVF nurse what the plan of attack would be and she said generally the doc wouldn’t wait for me to just “naturally” come around.  She thinks that they will start me on Estrogen pills to get my lining to thicken, wait one week then check me again.  Then I guess schedule a transfer?  I have no idea since the transfer wouldn’t happen in my normal cycle because I haven’t had one yet!!  I am in such a bad mood today because of all of this and I don’t know what to do with myself right now.  This is the worst.
