Egg Retrieval Scheduled!


Today's appointment went well and showed great progress. The doctor counted 11 follicles ... all of good size so we are finally ready to move forward. The egg retrieval is scheduled for 9:30 am on Friday morning which means the 'trigger shot' was given tonight at 9:30 pm. The timing of the shot is crucial as it allows the eggs to be retrieved in exactly 36 hours.

There's not much more to do now but wait ... and hope we get some healthy eggs on Friday.

Since we are nearing the end of the first phase, I thought I'd share a picture of my daily shots and pills...




And here are the fancy shots we got to do tonight!




Tomorrow is an easy day with blood work and a pre-op visit ... and lots of hydration to help prepare for being NPO prior to anesthesia on Friday.
