The Day Before

So, once again I break my promise to update more frequently. Oh well.

Let's see the last couple of days were a repeat of the the few days prior. Stickign myself with two needles daily, another stick by the nurse and wand stuffed up my female parts in hopes to see lots of eggies growing. All exciting stuff. And to thing some people just have sex to have a baby. How boring.

I am happy to report my estradiol level has been sufficiently raised and thus far my body has produced 9 folliciles. That progress allowed me the pleasure of having an inch and a half needle stick in my ass last evening courtesty of my husband. I am sure he enjoyed it more than I. This shot should tell my body to release those beautiful 9 eggs in 36 hours.

With the shot in the ass completed the next step is to report to the hospital at 0845 on Saturday for the egg retrieval. I am anxious to get this surgery part over with. The procedure should only take about 45 minutes and then I get to hang around for an hour or two until I can prove I know how to urinate on my own. Then I get to return home to lie on the couch, read trashy mags, and watch terrible movies. And maybe a little vomiting thrown in the mix. I have stocked up on my supply of gingerale, mags, and gatorade (which I have made made to understand is a must for anyone undergoing an egg retrieval).

I am excited to get this show on the road. I am experiencing wild swings from being absolutely convinced this will work to being sure it will not.

Fingers & Toes are crossed.
