Whatever prayers or thoughts you sent my way worked!
I had another monitoring appointment this morning and I had 9 FOLLICLES!! Woot!
My doctor called me this afternoon and wants me to continue with the shots for tonight, then she wants to see me again in the morning for another ultrasound and more blood work. Depending on what those two things show will determine the day of egg retrieval. Let me tell you again how much I love my doctors office. This process is both mentally and physically exhausting, and to know that you have these people on your side is the best feeling you could have while going through all of it. It feels so good to go in on a Saturday morning at 7:45 a.m., see your actual doctor, then get a call from your actual doctor later in the afternoon to tell you exactly what's happening. It just makes you feel good! Dr. Milroy came into the practice after I had already gone through my fresh and frozen cycles, so I didn't get to meet her until my surgery last February. I didn't think I would ever find a doctor that I liked as much as Dr. Stewart, the man responsible for Neisan, but Dr. Milroy is an amazing doctor and woman. She makes me feel like all of this is going to work. I know that's the point of it, but when you're going through it it's easy to be a pessimist. If it doesn't work (please God let it work), I know I have a doctor on my side, mentally just as much as physically. They have become friends for life. If anyone reading this is struggling, I more than recommend Reproductive Medicine and Infertility - I don't know if I'd be able to do all this with anyone else!
Anyways, enough doctor love - I AM SO EXCITED! 9 isn't an outstanding number, but it's not 4 either, so I'll take it. Plus I have at least one more day to stim. Looking forward to my appointment in the early morning to see what's going to happen this week. I will possibly have my egg retrieval on Wednesday! Aghh!!
I'll update again tomorrow after I get some more news. This is happening!
Oh and to top it off? We close on our house Monday! Life is beyond nuts right now. I don't know how we could have timed it better than to have surgery and embryo transfer on moving week. And don't even get me started on things going on at work... That's a whole other post. Thanks again for the prayers - now keep them coming that these embryos will want to stick!
