Easter Egg Hunting

My Mike accompanied me to today's doctor appointment. It was good to have him plus a second pair of ears to take mental notes. Sometimes the doctor thinks I can read his mind and sometimes I think he is speaking a foreign language. And I'm in the medical field!

They took my blood then I suffered through a painful ultrasound. I feel like I've have a couple of basketballs in my belly for a couple of days and now I understand why. The doctor is still impressed with my "bajillion" follicles, that are now stacking atop each other. He said they are growing nicely but he still projects that my Estrogen level will be pretty high. His plan remains, he will retrieve this weekend then give my lady parts a break until next cycle.

How about going on a little Easter egg hunt this Sunday? A body going through in-vitro does not wait on anything or anyone. I'm feeling pretty bad for this having fallen on a holiday of all days, but I'm grateful to Dr. Witz and the nurses that will make it happen when it needs to. I plan to bring them some yummies to ease the work load.

I took the Lupron trigger shot last night at exactly 8:30pm in the local Chili's bathroom stall in between our free appetizer and shared entree. Then this morning, my sweet husband woke me up at 8:30am for my second shot. I'm embarrassed to admit that I slept until 8:30a but it was most delicious! And that's it. No more shots... for now. Of course in the morning I'll receive my IV but I won't have to administer it and it surely won't make me feel like the bloating queen.

Tomorrow we find out how many were retrieved and Monday morning we find out how many follicles will decide to fertilize. Exciting stuff! Happy Easter y'all.
