Finally got the call from the nurse – presumably after a significant amount of conferencing between doctors and nurses about this sticky situation. Some of the typical options in this situation – the half-dose trigger, or retrieving and freezing – aren’t very good options for me with my severe egg maturity problem. But damn was I worried, sitting here all day waiting for someone to call me.<\/p>\n
My E2 levels are as I expected, at 6500. So they’re not going to trigger me tonight. I coast tonight (just lupron, no stims or menopur) and go back in tomorrow to check my E2 levels again. If they’re around 5000 then we trigger. If not, we wait another day. She said they really want to transfer me this cycle (ie, not have to freeze and wait because of OHSS) so they’re just going to let me coast until things come back under control and then trigger and retrieve.<\/p>\n
Hell, maybe my eggs will appreciate the extra day to grow up. They had better frickin take advantage of this, you hear me eggs?! You think REALLY HARD about how you can use this extra time. I suggest reading some books. Get in a college education. Learn all about spermies and embryos and how you can contribute to the greater good.<\/p>\n
So I wait another day. Perhaps it’s just not possible for me to have a cycle without some kind of unexpected disaster to strike. Maybe this will get it over with so we can be pleasantly surprized at fertilization. (Ahahaha. Yeah, that’s the sound of me laughing hysterically.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
