Just got back from my doctor's appointment, First let me convey that I am incredibly tired due to the fact that I saw the AMAZING Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 last night at midnight. So if this post isn't quite as coherent as usual, it's due to sleep deprivation.
First of all, GREAT NEWS! My doctor said there are 8-12 really good eggs and even more smaller ones. That is awesome. Everyone at the office commented on how well my body is responding to the meds. So what does that all mean? Well first of all it apparently means lots more side effects. Any time now I should start feeling crampy and bloated and that should last a few weeks. Awesome. But I'll take it if it means that this process works!!!
I will continue with injections tonight and tomorrow, doing 2 each session. On Sunday I will take the Ovidrel shot that releases my eggs. It must be timed perfectly. More than 15 minutes late and I have to call and change the timing of the whole procedure. Nuts! Monday I get a day off and then Tuesday will be our retrieval day. I take a vicodin in the morning and then they will further sedate me when I get there. We will obviously know on Tuesday how many eggs were retrieved, but on Wednesday we will find out how many fertilized.
Based on the number and quality of eggs fertilized, transfer will most likely be Friday but possibly Sunday. Regardless of when eggs are transferred, we can take a blood test Saturday Aug. 6 to find out if we are pregnant!! After transfer, the insanity doesn't stop. I'll still be taking daily meds (I won't go into details... just know that it's not pretty)... but it will all be worth it when we see 2 pink lines!! Finally!
Keep the prayers coming!!!!!!!!!!
