The week before retrieval

So first sorry for not keeping this going when it was happening - Ive been busy :-)

On Tuesday i returned to the doctors office to have an ultrasound and estrogen blood test. My doctor informed me all looked excellent and my eggs were doing well. She is not one to give out too much info (i think she thinks people over analyse!!) I was advised that all looked great for Friday and there were probably about 15 eggs. You couldn't see them all on the screen but i guess in her professional opinion there are some hidden by others. I was told to carry on with the drugs to stimulate for 2 more days and then given a lesson on the HCG shot that Richard was to give me on Wednesday night.
I returned on Wednesday for another check and its amazing to see how these eggs grow in one day. At this appointment i was told no more stimulation for fear of overdoing it now. My estrogen level had returned the previous day at 2300 which is great and strong. Considering this started under 20 i feel remarkably good.

Wednesday night was the night of the HCG - this drug allows the eggs to be released. Its timed to be administered 35 hours before retrieval so Rich had to inject it into my hip/butt region for me. This is something he doesn't like doing but has to get used to because i need to receive another there for about a month!

So now i am good to go, Today is retrieval day. I am nervous but mainly of the anaesthetic and lack of control i guess.
I will be back to report once the sedation wears away.
