IVF #3 is here!!

Sorry I haven't been posted in sometime, but there was really nothing going on besides my complaining. lol. The new shots (Lovenox) are really something to be desired to say the least, but again I must do what I must do.

Here's a recap of where I am. My E2(estrogen levels) were rising quite nicely all week. Slow but steady and as I've been told by many, at a great pace. Fast is not always good, especially when you're growing follicles. ;-) So I Hope & Pray that the Follistim (switch from always using Gonal-F) made the world of different with my little eggies. =)

11/16/09 E2 = 239
11/18/09 E2 = 529
11/20/09 E2 = 975
11/21/09 E2 = 1269

To tell you the truth, I was really hoping for another day of stims but they recommended we trigger last night as I had some pretty big follicles thus far and they didn't want to chance losing any of them (supposably) mature ones. So here I am triggered and all! Thanks to my husband who bravely took over that task! I was shocked that it ended up being HIM her gave it to me. My nurse friend had to work this morning at 5am so 11pm last night was kind of pushing it for her to do it for me. I understood. I was a nervous wreck and upset all the way around that I didn't have her to do it, but again, I UNDERSTOOD her situation. She's been so great for me all the other cycles.

Tom (husband) and I have decided to stay in a hotel tonight and tomorrow as well. We usually only stay up the road on the night of Egg Retrival but decided to get away after all for the 'extra' time away. We'll go out to dinner tonight and just chill in the room. We'll be 5 minutes away from the hospital, so tomorrow morning will be alot less stressful than driving in the traffic.

So there you have it! Please pray that this cycle (even though it has been very stressful and emotional for me) will turn out to be the 'ONE' I've been waiting for. The positive, sticky bean one!!

I'll KUAP!

God Bless.
