First celebration: I can trigger tonight (hcg shot). Second celebration: my egg retrieval will be Thursday morning...AAAHHH!!! I can't believe it. I was getting a little discouraged because I went for an u/s yesterday and wasn't ready yet, which meant another night of meds. I had to go back this morning for another u/s and more bloodwork. Finally, they called me to say I was ready. I don't know if my arms could take any more bloodwork! They told me I have 7 mature follicles and 1 that is almost there. Whether or not it will mature by Thursday, we don't know. They also told me that I could get more than that or less...we won't know until the retrieval.
We've waited so long for this day to come. I am ready, but terribly nervous. I'll probably have lots of anxiety Thursday morning while they prep me for surgery. I've only had surgery once before and that was to clear my tubes. (which obviously didn't work) I just want to get through this and then mentally prepare myself for the next stage...fertilization and embryo development.
Being that the retrieval is on Thursday, our transfer could fall on Sunday or Tuesday next week. It all depends on the embryos.
Another celebration...no more shots after tonight. Although I somewhat got used to doing them because they became a part of my nightly routine promptly at 6:30...I'm glad that part is over!
