Trigger It

Oye vey.  Had another u/s and more blood drawn on Saturday a.m.  How exhausting.  I can't really complain about this whole process.  The only complaint I have, I was happy about the time I had to take my shot, which if that is the only complaint, great.  I'm the type of person that likes to be in bed, looking at pinterest, by nine o'clock, not awake counting the hours til I can jab myself with a needle!  So, last I was about one vile Menopur, 5 units Lupron, and a dose of 300mgs of Gonal-F.  On Saturday my I had all together 25-30 follies slowly getting bigger.  Around 15mm.  They'd like to have a bunch that are around 18mms.  I guess they can grow about 2mm each day, which is great and got me hopeful for a trigger on Monday.  I left and received a phone call that my estrogen levels were right were they should be and that I needed to lower my Gonal-F to 150, which was fine by me, less medicine to inject is always a good thing!  Plus it gives me more leftovers! 

I didn't feel well all weekend, just unsettled.  Friday night we had a great dinner of sushi with my sister and BIL, followed by drinks at this lovely lil place close to home.  I felt drunk.  I had a glass of wine with dinner and then a mojito at the last place we went.  It was strange.  I also had to give my shot at the last place we were at, which is kinda an upscale place and I felt weird shooting up in the bathroom, but I did it.  With my buzzed sister in the stall with me giggling saying "this is so weird, ugh I can't look." lol. Love her. 

Monday back to the doctors.  My arm is a mess from all the blood that has been drawn and I was very hopeful I wouldn't have to go back after this.  The u/s tech said there were a good size follicles from 15-18mm that looked good, and I was tell not every follicle will get to be as big as 18mm as I had about ten that were only at 10mm.  I received the call today that I will take my trigger shot of Ovidrel tonight at 8.15 and I am so happy.  No more needles and I can breathe a sigh of relief.  So glad tonight is my night.  So I do that and then on Wednesday at 7.15 we go in for retrieval.

So that is the happenings as of late.  Giving all this blood has been awful, but I'm glad the last thing to stick me is an IV, which hurt like a bitched last time I had it done.  But it's a small price for everything else that will come out of this.
