At 8:00 this evening I sat in my car in my high school parking lot and shot 10,000 units of HCG into my stomach. Why my high school parking lot? I went to yoga tonight and was on my way home. The trigger shot needs to be done at an exact time, so the best place I could think of at that time was the parking lot. I don't think I ever imagined that when I was in high school.
Retrieval is set for Thursday. I have to be there at 7:15 and this time W is doing his "part" at home. I guess it's easier for them and he doesn't really care either way.
At this morning's appointment I was ready to start applauding when I was given the green light to trigger. It really feels like the stimming lasted forever this time. I had lots of follicles and my ovaries are right on top of each other. My date with wandy was quite uncomfortable! My estradiol levels dropped predictably and I filled my script for Dostinex to help prevent OHSS.
A kid and I were talking during our session yesterday about we put together a puzzle of sheep. There were grown up and baby sheep. I asked him what the grown ups were going to do and he said, "grown ups can use bad words. When I'm grown up I'm going to use bad words." I love his perception of what it means to be an adult.
Yay! So excited for your trigger. Good luck on your retrieval. I hope your RE gets lots of great eggs!

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to wish you luck on this cycle!
