Final ultrasound on stims

So this morning I had to get up at 5:15 in order to get ready to be at Dr. Nichols' office at 7:15. The sun wasn't even up when I left.

Today's appointment went well. They could actually see my uterus contracting because all of these hormones cause extra mucus, gross.

It looks like we will have around 20 follicles to retrieve. I do my trigger shot tonight at 11:00 and then I will have my retrieval on Tuesday.

After I left Dr. Nichols' office I ran through the drive-thru at Starbucks because I really needed a caffeine pick-me-up today. Then I had to pull over and do my Lupron shot in a parking lot.  Hey, there's a first time for everything :-)

Then I stopped at Food Lion before heading to church because I had to go to the bathroom. I also bought a protein drink since I only ate a banana for breakfast this morning. I picked up some lemon pound cake for the ladies I volunteer with as well.

It was a busy morning in the nursery today with lots of babies who were all tired and fighting sleep, which equals cranky babies :-(  I was able to talk to the ladies in my room some more about what is going on with my IVF cycle. Everyone wad very encouraging and supportive.

I've been feeling nauseous lately and having hot flashes; then I found out today that my estrogen level is over 2,000 because of the drugs!!! I'm looking forward to feeling normal again, well actually not "normal" but pregnant :-)
