I made the mistake of asking the blood tech to try my right arm. Wrong wrong wrong – always<\/i> tell them, “Whatever works best!” No blood on first try. Switched to left arm, same vein as yesterday… got it.<\/p>\n
At the ultrasound today the first measurement was a 19.5mm follicle. I blinked in surprize. 19.5 means trigger time. She measured the rest on the right: 19.5, 19.5, 16, 18, 15, 19, 17. And my left: 17.5, 18, 19, 18, 17. Definitely triggering tonight. I’m a little bit annoyed with the 15 and 16 – hello, stay with the others please!!<\/i> – but all in all this looks like a very nice batch. Total on the right was 11 with 8 being of a mature kind of size, total on the left was 8 with 6 of them big and fat. I’m still guessing 17 or 18 retrieved. I hope. Come on, eggs. I have done everything I could possibly do for you this time, please please be mature and ready to fertilize.<\/i><\/p>\n
Since I’m an ICSI patient I will probably be the first retrieval of the day at 7:30 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
