All systems go!

Well, this morning Nurse Perfect says I have a very nice little bed for any embryos to snuggle into (she measured the lining, but didn't tell me how thick it was - just that it looked great). I still have four follicles - two are now over 20mm, the one on the left is 14mm and the other is 13mm.

I have one more Gonal-F injection to do this evening, then at 4:45 tomorrow morning I have to do my trigger injection, and I go in for egg collection on Wednesday afternoon. Provided we get an embryo or two out of that, transfer is on Friday afternoon - so by the weekend I should be into the two week wait!

I'm excited, nervous, emotional (I just had a chat with a friend, and in a ten minute conversation she had a good laugh about how unusually moody and irrational I was, which bizarrely made me feel a lot better, even though I was crying when she said it - so I suppose moody and irrational is a pretty good description) and veering between optimism and terror.

There's so much that can still go wrong - but for the moment, it's all going well.

  2. Hi - just found your blog via another blog & want to wish you luck! I'm not far behind you in the day of cycle - I've only got 6 follies so I understand your disappointment. And if one more person tells me "it's quality, not quantity I'm going to scream!!!" ha ha. Hope all goes well for retrieval!!! :)

  4. Thank you all.

    Simple, I'm using that line myself, but I'll try to avoid saying it to you! Good luck for your retrieval too - hope all goes well.

  5. YES! I am so, so excited for you! Your follicles all sound like beautiful sizes, too! I can't believe you're so close to the 2WW. I am sitting here with a huge smile because I am just so happy for you.
