Well. HCG has been administered. We made it to the end of the injection road.
As I sit here feeling the slight burn from the shot, it makes me feel good. I finally feel a little calmer now. This has been one hell of a week. After going for ultrasounds three days in a row, it got to the point that everyone knew who I was!
Today’s ultrasound went really well. The extra day of stims and their hefty price tag did what they were supposed to. The 18s became 20s, the 16s became 18s and even some of the 11s became 13s. Over the next day and a half, I can only hope things continue to get better before retrieval.
The nurse called to confirm that my surgery is Saturday and I was thrilled to learn I am the first one of the day. Great news when it comes to fasting. Then she told me even more great news. We happen to really like the particular RE who’s on that day. When it can’t be your own RE, it’s nice to feel comfortable with the on-call doc. She joked that this RE can find eggs we didn’t know were even there. I laughed and said, “perfect!”
So I guess it’s go time. These next few days are the most difficult to describe and endure. But we’re ready.
sounds like things went really well. good luck on saturday!!
Oh my land. I’m getting so excited for you!!
Such good news! And first surgery of the day is always best – get him while he is still fresh and not thinking about wanting to go home
Good luck!!! You are a few days ahead of me. I’ll be crossing fingers for you.
Fantastic!! Sounds like you got a nice lot of eggs ready to go:-) Good luck on Saturday!!
Exciting news! Good luck for retrieval!
Great news about the maturing eggs! You’re so close now! Thinking of you.
good luck!!
