Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

As Expected

July 11, 2007 — 7:34 pm

Ultrasound this morning went well, and Den even came with me for once, as he had to get a haircut… though I think he spent the entire appointment reading magazines.

We were in and out pretty quickly. Got my blood drawn first… and she got it on the first try this time, and on my left side – yay! Though now I have matching bruises on my left and right arms. We didn’t wait long to be seen for the ultrasound.

Basically, it showed me exactly where I expected to be: close but not quite there yet. Count of my follicles:
Left had 12 total, big ones of note were 18, 16.5, 16, 14.5, 14, 13.5.
Right had 11 total, big ones being 18.5, 18, 18, 15, 15.5, 13.5
And my lining was a nice 13mm triple layer.

I wasn’t able to answer the phone when the nurse called (I was watching the new Harry Potter movie, WOOT), so I didn’t get my E2 for today… but they are dropping me down to 100iu of Follistim today, then having me trigger tomorrow evening. (I’m not going in for another U/S – just triggering tomorrow evening.) Transfer will be Saturday! That makes me very happy.

And now I’m seriously considering bed. I have so much to take care of the next two days…. but I am really, really looking forward to my retrieval on saturday and then sunday-monday-tuesday of a nice anniversary vacation in Boston with my hubby. No work. I may turn off my phone (except I can’t, because I’m going to be waiting for news about transfer). I’m just going to relax. And I hope I feel better this time around after retrieval, because we plan to be walking around Boston…
