It's kind of like Christmas Eve only more interesting :) We are set for our egg retrieval tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. Which means we need to be in Iowa City by 7 a.m. Which means we need to leave our house by 5:30 a.m. I am convinced that this cycle and all of it's ridiculously early mornings is simply preparing me for many, many more months of little sleep...right??
Our final u/s and b/w was Monday morning. We were up to 13 follies over 10 with several of those over 15. Monday was the worst as far as feeling icky, I felt like my insides were going to explode. Yesterday and today were much better, hopefully that isn't a bad sign, but simply a sign of my body adjusting. My estrogen on Monday was 2282, which is good, the nurse said it was approaching "high" so they would be watching me for hyper stimulation, which I have heard is not a pleasant experience.
Tonight is an easy night, no meds, no shots, nothing, just attempting to sleep. My emotions vary between worried and anxious to relaxed and calm. We'll see how much sleep I get. Please pray for safe travels, easy medical procedures and lots and lots of mature eggs tomorrow! Friday will be a long day as we wait for our fertilization report, so please pray for patience and nice high numbers with that phone call! It is hard to believe another leg of this journey is almost over!
Praying for you now!! Lots of love coming your way. I'm praying this cycle finally comes together and brings you your baby. We are here if you need us, but just know you are not alone but we are cheering you on, hoping, praying and ready for the nervous days ahead.
