I had my second u/s and bloodwork yesterday.  I only have 3 or 4 follicles of 13 mm in size and the rest are still under 12 mm.  They need to be between 16 and 18 mm in order to do my trigger shot.  Apparently they grow 1-2 mm in size per day.  The lady I spoke to yesterday doesn't think I'll be ready by Sunday to trigger, which is what they had predicted for me.  So, I go back in for another u/s and bloodwork tomorrow (Sunday) and see if they've grown.  The only down side to not being on schedule is MORE MEDS!  I may have to be on more medicine for a few more days than anticipated.  Right now I have enough meds to get me through Sunday night, so the office is "loaning" me 2 more days of meds if needed.  Of course I have to pay for what I use.  I will say that the office has been very helpful with the medication.  They provided me with 1 gonal-f pen (which can run up to $250) and enough progesterone to last me a few weeks.  I start progesterone after the Egg Retrieval up until my pregnany test.  If I am pregnant, I will have to continue the progesterone for up to several weeks.  At least it's a gel and not the huge intramuscular needle they used to use. 

Something tells me that we will probably be ready by Monday to trigger and will end up doing the actual retrieval on Wednesday, May 23.  Of course that's my husband's birthday.  You can look at this scenario two ways:  What an awesome way to spend your birthday...watching your wife go under for surgery and then having to **** off into a cup  OR  Your first child is conceived on your birthday.  Of course I'm going with the second choice.  I know my husband will only have one wish for his birthday and I hope to God I can give it to him.

We will know more tomorrow after our appointment.  I am hoping the follies have grown exponentially since yesterday because I am ready for this part to be over.  Of course after the retrieval is probably the hardest part because you find out how many eggs they actually retrieved, how many fertilized, and then how they are growing.  More mental stress to come...
