My egg retrieval is tomorrow at 10 am.  This has caused some sort of warp in the space-time continuum, where minutes are now hours and time has slowed down to a near halt.  I look at the clock-swearing that an hour has gone by, and it has only been 10 minutes!  But this too shall pass, and we will be on our way tomorrow!

The trigger shot went great last night.  The biggest needle and intramuscular, this was somehow the least painful.  Walking is difficult.  I am doing more of a waddle.  Very, very tired all the time.  I ended up taking a half day at work and nap time was my friend.  Got the call from my nurse that everything was looking great, my e2 level jumped to around 3400-a nice big number, but not TOOO big (We don’t that painful hyperstimulation syndrome).

So tomorrow I will go in, they will give me some feel good anesthesia, and then the retrieval begins.  This involves going in through the vaginal wall and sucking the contents of any good size follicles out.  That fluid should contain an egg that was in each follicle.  They will figure out how many are mature and give us a number! Those guys will then go into the petri dish of love and let the magic begin.

So I am not a betting girl (except when in Vegas!), but my bet is that they are going to get 10 eggs.  My husband bets 13.   My mother-in-law says 14!  (weigh in Mom and everybody).  We shall see!  I am feeling very positive and ready for this next step!
