Today we had to do the shot of Follistem. And just like last time, it was pretty easy and painless.
Day 11:
This morning, we had to do Ganirelix again so I had to deal with a sore thigh for a few hours. I then drove out to Columbia for blood work and an ultrasound. About 3-4 of my follicles were at 19mm and the others (about 11-12) were at 17mm. My Estrogen came back at 1800! And then I received the news I have been waiting for:
TONIGHT I CAN DO THE TRIGGER SHOT!!
Never have I been so excited for one of the worse injections!! After enduring almost two weeks of shots, I couldn't be happier to hear this. So at precisely 10pm, Jared has to give me the HCG (Pregnyl) shot in the butt (sounds glamorous, I know!). This is the most critical part of the IVF process. This shot has to be right at this time...any earlier or later, and my egg retrieval will not be a success. 
Tomorrow morning, I start another antibiotic to be taken twice daily and tomorrow night, I have to douche (again, sounds so attractive!). Sunday morning at 8am is my scheduled egg retrieval!! I cannot wait! I hope Jared has good numbers as well, otherwise we have the frozen samples as backup. Let's hope all the eggs get fertilized.
