I went back for more bloods and an ultrasound yesterday. Had some follicles in the 18mm range and a bunch around 14, 15 and 16. Lefty was an over achiever with 14 follicles.
Low and behold I get a phone call telling me that I need to stay up until 1am Thursday morning and trigger for harvesting on Friday.
It’s now Thursday night and I can’t stop thinking about the fact that tomorrow hopefully we are creating an embryo. With any luck in 5 days we will have a couple of frosties that I will one day give birth to.
That is an amazing concept to me. I tried to explain this to Hubby, but he didn’t really get it. His response was pretty much that it was all science. Sigh… men.
Whilst I am very excited I am a bit apprehensive about the procedure and also scared that they will not get enough eggs, or something will be wrong with them, or the fertilised ones won’t make it to day 5 and be good enough.
So much to be worried about and basically none of it is in my control.
If you have time to spare a thought for me tomorrow I would truly appreciate it.

You have done everything in your power and control and it sounds like you are reallyset up for a success. Now it is time for the universe, lab, Doctor and even your husband to do their part. Try to have peace that your intense part of stims is coming to an end. When I am going into egg retrieval- I always welcome my little baby(ies) to come join us because we love them and are waiting for them. Deep breathe- you got this!

Thanks so much for your lovely words and advice. I tried to think of it that way. It was quite emotional really.

Oooooo I hope it all goes smoothly. It is tough this stage. So much to worry about and so little that can be done. As mamajo says you have done everything you can now, time to let the experts do their part with a sprinkle of good juju from the universe too. Xx

Yay for trigger! It will give the rest of those little eggies a great boost! Praying for a fantastic fertilization rate and plenty of healthy Day 5 frosties! Isn’t it crazy to think that you could be creating all of your children in one moment? Even though they will be born at different times? I have always thought that is the coolest thing! Good luck with your retrieval! Keep us posted! We are all rooting for you!
