We went to the doctors office yesterday for another ultrasound and bloodwork. Oh fun times!! I have two follicles capable of producing eggs. He will remove both follicles and try to get one or two of the smaller ones just in case. Retrieval is scheduled for tomorrow (Monday) at 9:30. Yippee! We had to do the "trigger" shot last night/this morning at 1am. I tried to remain half asleep until the needle was 2 inches into my posterior... Ouch! I will not get used to it.... It sounds really bad, I am looking forward to the retrieval process because I get a few hours of sedation with NO cramping, insomnia, upset stomach, bloating, headache, etc... I get to SLEEP!!! Of course, then it all comes back with a vengence. Always look to the POSITIVE!!!
Now the question remains, do we transfer one or both. Of course it is a very big decision. I had dreams last night that we had twins and I couldn't tell them apart! Isn't a mother supposed to know??? Also, impanting two, gives us better odds, however, if twins occur there is more of a chance of low birth weight and premature delivery. Now, am I just being paranoid, hormonal? I guess it will be a game-time decision. It is possible that both will not be viable. We will find out when the doc gives us the fertility report after the retrieval.
Finally, yes Joe is still alive and hasn't left me yet.... He is a trooper!!! YAY Joe!!!!
Sending prayers for great embies! Transfer all you get. Ethan was 1 of 5. Landon 1 of 2. When are you doing transfer? I remember with both my babies my back side was numb until about 5 months after I discontinued the progesterone shots. Serious prayers coming your way! Love you guys!
