Ok, no.
I'd go into how many follicles they saw and the measurements and what have you, but I've learned from previous IVF cycles not to get caught up in that game. I only got 10 eggs, 8 mature when we conceived Jonah, and it literally only takes one. So, I'm gonna keep my analytical self out of this part this time around to save myself the stress and headache. It is all out of my control now anyway, so there is nothing in my power to change anything.
I'm doing great self-care though, acupuncture and massage today, chiropractic last week. I felt great after the acupuncture today, I felt lighter and "clearer" even though that seems odd. I will have a session done prior to transfer and immediately after transfer.
I have to come in on Sunday again to monitor my Big Ole Eggs, and I'm pretty sure they will have me trigger on Sunday, to harvest the eggs on Tuesday. (OMG SO SOON!) What is trigger you ask? That's the HCG shot that matures my eggs to completion and prepares them for a'pluckin'. This HCG shot is an IM shot and one that M will have to give me in my butt. No way am I brave enough to jab that Pulp Fiction like needle into my own ass. No thanks.
The timing of this shot is crucial, as my eggs need to be taken out within a certain time period after the shot. Hours count. So we will make sure to be Super Prepared for this last oldie but goodie injection.
My box o' meds has dwindled down to nearly nothing. There's vicodin for the egg retrieval (thanks, btw!) and antibiotics and my vaginal progesterone suppositories and that's it! Wild.
Nurse B called with my results from todays stim check:

My dosage instructions for to stay the same!
We're down to the wire. Last few days left and then it will be out of our hands and into the hands of great science and even greater, Life.
