I'm all set~

Well, this is it. I'm all set for egg retrieval on Monday @ 8am. Today's scan showed pretty much the same 12+ follies. On the right, 3 @ 15mm 3 @ 16mm. On the left, 1 @ 20mm 1 @ 18mm 3 @17mm and 1 @ 15mm. My lining is super thick @ 13mm (sorry, tmi!)

Paid the $7k today. The rest next week, once pgd embryo biopsy is done.

Post-op visit (i.e., pregnancy test???) YES!

So, I've gotten my marching orders. I'm excited, the only thing in the way is this pending trial which the Judge is forcing us to go forward with, no more continuances. It starts Aug 22nd or so. We're #4 so we probably won't go that day, maybe later on in the week.

That's it, that's all for now. Tonight, catch up on some sleep, tomorrow fishing (after trigger) and Sunday is sit and wait (lots of yoga and meditation)

I'm feeling better at the cetrotide injection site. Otherwise, Gonal-F didn't phase me one bit! Can't wait to hear the results of my hormone tests taken today!

Will report later,

Mommy loves you already......
