Things are Looking Good

Results from the doctors appointment on Saturday.

I have just over 20 follicles (eggs) developing. They are all a good size and are growing well. My estrogen level dropped to below 200 so the doctor is raising my medication to get it back up. No worries just need to get it over 200 again. We will most likely do an egg retrieval on Thursday or Friday of this week. This is the process where the Dr. will go in an remove the eggs from my ovaries and then combine them with Chris's swimmers to make embryos. We head back to the Dr. on Monday morning so I will have more information then.

I look like a mess from all the needle sticks. You can't get blood from my arms so I have to have my blood drawn from my hands and they look terrible. They are so bruised and sore. My stomach looks even worse. For some reason I keep hitting blood vessel when I do my injections so there are at least 35 bruises all over my tummy. The good news is that they don't hurt. Just look yucky.

I rewarded myself with a pair or new shoes for being a good patient! Way better than the sucker my Dr. gave me when I was a kid.
