A Scare

Woke up this morning and my tummy is still sensitive, but not as bad as it has been from the shots, so am grateful for that. I inject the Repronex lower on the tummy and I think that helped.

I did however have signs of ovulating around 10 this morning. Freaked out so called Deena, our IVF Specialist at the office and after waiting 30 minutes or longer for her to call us back, and having a cry fest, we finally talked to her and found out the symptoms I had are often side effects to the drugs. Would have been nice to know that ahead of time, but either way we went to get blood work drawn this afternoon just to make sure ovulation has not started.

Because of my follicle sizes, well some of them being larger, they may have us take the HCG shot (med that makes you ovulate 36 hours later) on Saturday night, meaning they would remove the follicles and eggs Monday instead, implanting embryos on Thursday. We are looking forward to that possibility but want to do whatever will give us the highest numbers and highest possibilities.

Prayers are that my body does not ovulate early, follicles continue to grow to size they need to be, and that there are enoug eggs/follicles removed to be able to put two healthy embryos in me, and to allow for us to freeze some for another shot down the road.
