Day 9 Stim Update

We went to see Dr. B this morning to check on our follicles.  The "blood stud" was back today, so I thought it would be a one stick morning....well so much for hopeful thinking, she tried each arm with the butterfly needle before telling me to come back after my u/s for her to try again!  My veins are adamant about keeping my blood in....they better start cooperating because they talked today about the possibility of taking it through my NECK!  Awesome, huh? Just how everybody wants to start their day...a needle to the neck! 

My follicles looked GREAT in the right ovary. She counted 10 that measured in the high teens to twenty & said that there were also some smaller ones that could still make a comeback.  My left ovary stepped up to help out but barely...she saw 2 good sized follicles and one little one. Beggars can't be choosers...2 is better than one! Thank goodness the right ovary is working overtime!!!

Thomas checked our PRN line this afternoon and the IVF coordinator told us to take the follistim shot tonight & again in the morning along with the ganirelex shot and am pills.  Then, we are to come back to the office tomorrow at 8:15. 

We are getting soooo excited! Well, lets be honest...excited & nervous all at once!  This is going to be a really big week....egg retrieval/egg hunt will for sure happen no later than Friday!  Prayers are in full throttle!
