So it looks like we are still on track for a Valentine's Day retrieval. As my doctor keeps reminding me, though, "Things can change in a day." So I am trying to prepare myself for the possibility that it might be several days after Valentine's, but for now I am going to continue counting down to Tuesday the 14th! I would LOVE for it to be that day...I already have my pink and red outfit picked out for the retrieval...which I know is ridiculous since I will end up in a hideous butt-revealing blue hospital gown anyway. Sigh. At least I will arrive festive.
The ultrasound yesterday was rather uneventful. The follicles aren't doing much, but the doctor thinks we are right on track. I hope he is right. I will have another ultrasound tomorrow and one Saturday as well, and I am crossing my fingers that I will get to trigger on Sunday which would result in a Tuesday morning retrieval! I'm still feeling good...no real side effects from the injections other than terrible headaches, but I think that is because of the rising estrogen more than the medicine itself. Tonight will be my seventh stimulant injection, and I have to admit these seven days have actually gone pretty quickly. Let's hope the next seven do, too.
Almost There...
