IVF #3 - Follie Scan #4

I am losing my mind waiting for my nurse to call with instructions... I know with 99% certainty that I'm triggering tonight, but I've been obsessively checking my phone ALL DAY. It'd be nice to get my call... any minute now... tick... tock... tick... tock...

FINALLY!!! An hour later the phone rings :)

Anyways, today's follie scan was after 7 nights of stims, 1400iu Follistim, 105iu Low Dose HCG, and 155iu Lupron. Here's the result:

Lining: 7.1mm, type 1
Right: 7 follies above 15mm
Left: 3 follies above 15mm
E2: 2,929
Prog: 1.8

Instructions:

• Tonight - Trigger at 8:20pm
• Tomorrow -
• b/w and u/s in the morning
• John takes last Doxycycline at night
• Cici - no food or drink after midnight
• Friday - ER (arrival time 6:45am)

I had another cute doctor this morning for my u/s. I think they must stick all the young, cute doctors with early monitoring. Not complaining at all! LOL! John was not so entertained by my observations of the two cute doctors. HAHA! Oh, well!

The bloating is pretty significant. Thankfully it doesn't start to become really uncomfortable until the evening... like, right about now (5:00pm). It will all be worth it though!

It's crazy that about a week from now... we'll know. Either we'll get a shot with a blastocyst of our own, or we won't. I haven't paid any mind to how I will pick up the pieces if we don't get a single blast. I am very thankful that I have a session with my therapist tomorrow night. I know just what we'll be working on! I've spent the past six weeks shutting down any "what if" thoughts that went beyond the ER. Now the time is upon us, and I have no other choice but to face reality. I just pray it is a reality that I can handle.
