Trigger Night

Another good appointment today. The nurse guessed that there might be 12 good eggs during the retrieval. After my appointments the nurse calls in the afternoon with my blood work results and my next step. I was very anxious today because I had to wait until after 6:30 to hear from them. I was so nervous they forgot about me because they usually call around 4. The nurse said they were very busy today but that the eggs were ready and that I should take a shot to trigger my ovulation tonight at 1:15am. She also told me about a million other instructions. I spent at least 20 min getting everything straight after I hung up. It makes me so nervous that I’m going to forget something and mess everything up. I made myself lists of what I need to do each day so that doesn’t happen.

Since ovulation is being triggered tonight, I will go in Tuesday (36 hours later) and they will take the mature eggs out of the follicles. I get a call Wednesday telling me how many eggs they got and how many fertilized.

I still had to take the shot tonight that makes me feel yucky but I don’t have to take it again! Shane was here tonight so he gave me the shot. I think I drove him crazy with instructions. One shot down and one to go. We will have to set our alarms for 1:15am. I’m crossing my fingers that the ovulation shot doesn’t make me sick. I’ve taken it twice before. One time I was laying on the bathroom floor and one time I was completely fine. Lets hope the bathroom floor stays clear tonight.

I am nervous and excited all at the same time!
