Ready to unload

The anesthesiologist called this evening to see if I had questions concerns before the retrieval. Now the idea of our final IVF is really sinking in.

TRIGGERING TONIGHT???

Just got the call from the nurse with instructions, and apparently I am triggering tonight.
Apparently my E2 number only rose a little, and it represent the numbers plateauing, so they want to trigger me before I lose all the eggs. My trigger time is 12:15am,  ET on Tuesday.
Last call for the eggs!

CD11 U/S & blood

E2 shot up from the 700's to 2210 yesterday, everything looks pretty good. I have one follie at 25, they are going to let that one decide its own fate while continue to let the rest grow. We are looking at 3 more days of stim? The nurse said by tomorrow we'll have a pretty good idea of the ER date.

 

Follie scan pic! Ha, no they are our squash soup lunch ;)

CD 9 first U/S

Follie count: There are (I misplaced the sticky pad paper the nurse wrote the numbers on) 4 midium size follie on each side, with a few smaller ones tagging along.

Dosage: Dr. S cut my Folistim from 300 to 150, well that's never happened before...I wonder if this will cause a longer stim period?

Unwanted surprises: Oh just one of those "dip" in my oven the nurse noticed today and said dr. S will have to decide if it's polyp that needs to be removed (thankfully it could be done during ER).

More Unwanted surprises: Both of us had to update/pay for the "communicable" blood again because it's been 6 months since we did it, an extra $750 big ones, ouch :( I don't understand why we can't opt out of this.. it's just so expensive when we both know it's completely unnecessary.

Looking forward: Going to see friends tomorrow for dinner! :)
 

Not looking forward: The SNOW:(

Still packing

I'm such a bum. I haven't even started packing. I've been mentally going through things we need for the week though.... Oh and guess what, it's going to SNOW in Denver! HAha...ha......-_-
All my number came back today looking normal, E2 761 Prog 0.2 and LH 5.1, my dosages are to remain the same until future notice.
Denver here we come again.

Flying out

I'm packing(not really) for the Friday flight. This time around we are staying at The Element instead if Staybeidges. They gave a good rate for a full kitchen and one King BR + free breakfast, so yeah!

I'm curious to see my Thursday scan, having read do much about protocol 6, I'm a little worried about mdl as suppose to Cetrotide. But oh well. 

Latest IVF sighting

"The Veep" and "The Simpsons" both included ivf scenes, um, they were staged so sadly:/ 

I'm having some annoying cramp since the Lurpon jabbs. This morning I officially started Menupor, it sort of left a huge smug in my head, or maybe just the emotions...
