Today has been a great day! I arrived at school early to prepare for a guest speaker to talk to my class about his experiences as a pilot in Chad & The Democratic Republic of Congo. It was awesome...the kids loved him, his pictures, & his stories. It's always cool as a teacher when I can see my students making real life connections with the present content I am teaching them!
Next, I picked up Hardy and we headed to the Fertility Clinic for yet another day of u/s & blood work. My veins were once again adamant about not cooperating, so it took tries on both arms before we were told to go in for our u/s and to come back for her to try again on the blood struggle. My follicles looked ginormous! Too many to count in the right ovary & still just three in the left ovary....although, I must give the left some credit...two of those three looked and measured perfect! I received my last injection of follistim & headed back for round two of blood work...two more sticks and she got it! Thank Goodness!!!
Thomas called our PRN line at 2:00 to find out some exciting news...my follicles are ready!!! We will trigger tonight at 11:00 and come in for egg retrieval Friday morning at 8:15! We are both full of emotions...super excited, incredibly scared, & yet full of hope! With God's will, we will have our little Pea's in incubators by Friday afternoon!
I ended the day by seeing Dr. L.B. for acupuncture and I'll go back again tomorrow for another session to prepare my body for retrieval. She's all about timing it perfect with my cycle. Transfer day will fall on either Monday or Wednesday of next week. I'll go back to Dr. L.B. within an hour after the transfer is complete. This is one crazy journey, but it will be completely worth all the doctors, pills, shots, & appointments when we get that first positive! We pray, pray, pray for a successful cycle!
