I went yesterday (Thursday) and again today for ultrasounds and lab work. I am so tired of getting my arm poked, I can't imagine going through IVF and having more monitoring.
I actually got poked twice today, again! They tried in my right hand first and she was digging around and I finally said I had enough. She went to my wrist and dug around minimally but finally got the vein and blood.
The waiting room was packed today for some reason, it was the usual time I go too.
Yesterday I had 3 follicles, two at 16mm and one at 14mm. My lining was at 9mm yesterday.
Today I have 2 mature follicles, one at 19mm and one at 18mm. My lining is 11mm now. The RE said my lining and follicles were beautiful. I am so so thankful that they have monitored me so well and tweaked my medications each day so that I didn't over respond. I am definitely okay with two mature follicles, an extra target for the swimmers to aim for. I have one on each ovary as well....so no matter what tube the sperm swim up, they will be an egg waiting for them!
I trigger tonight between 8:30-9:00pm. I hope this one doesn't hurt too bad. The other ones haven't hurt but boy am I bruised!
I have to post a funny too. Pooping isn't really a talked about subject but my stomach has been so off and on this past week while on meds. This morning I got up and got ready for my appointment. I drove to the office and about a mile away I felt like I had to go poop. I was hoping to get into the building at the opposite end so I could sneak into the bathroom before my labs and ultrasound but the door was locked!! So I just went into the office and hoped the urge would go away until I got back home. The urge did indeed go away but here is the funny part (at least I think it was funny.) When the RE did the ultrasound, you could see that my bowels were full. I totally recognized on the screen and I know the RE did too. I'm sure it's not the first time they have seen this but it still made me laugh a little.
I ended up telling my husband this story and he told me he was disgusted and never wanted to hear about my full bowels ever again. HAHAHAHAH
So anyways, tomorrow my husband gets to visit the "spank room" as he calls it and then go to work. Shortly after I will arrive and they will do the IUI. Sunday he gets another visit to his special room and we'll do another IUI.
Four days later, I'll go for a p4 check. Hoping that is good and that I don't need progesterone this time again.
Eleven days after that I'll go for a beta. I do plan on testing out my trigger and will post some pictures. Rinse and repeat unless the beta is positive....which I am not too hopeful for. I hate to be negative but I don't want to get my hopes up to have them crash down if it doesn't work.
