What a difference a few addtional days can make. The follicle count is somewhere near 21 or above. I've lost count. I was so tired and dazed at the RE's office yesterday that I actually lost count. The biggest one was an 18mm with a few 16 and 15mm ones lined up. That, along with my estrogen being over 3400, was enough for the RE to schedule my egg retrieval. The grand event will take place on Thursday, November 8 at 8:15am. So last night was my last injection, hopefully for a very, very long time. I’ve been pretty sore the last few days, probably due to that fact that my ovaries are about four times their normal size. My back is just killing me but I can’t figure out if I pulled something or if it’s egg related. Add to that the fact that my boobs are about as sore as you can imagine and you have one tired, sore momma-to-be.
I’m praying for a good retrieval count. Even with 21 follicles, it’s very unlikely that all of them will contain viable eggs. I’m still praying for at least 12 good eggs, but we’ll find out tomorrow. I have to ignore that little worried voice inside my head and keep myself positive. I’m scared that all those follicles will be empty or that the eggs won’t be of decent quality. I’m also scared that something is wrong with our fertilization and then I start worrying that nothing will fertilize even if we do have good eggs. It’s all enough to drive me batty.
I just have to keep my hopes up and concentrate on the fact that THIS WILL WORK. It will. It has to.
