4th of July Retrieval!!

It's been a quiet couple of days. I felt a little sick to my stomach on Thursday and Friday - not sure if that was related to the Repronex or not but I'm feeling better now. My left ovary is a very busy bee as I am definitely feeling a lot going on there. I went in for my 2nd monitoring appointment today and was a little nervous about the outcome. I got to see my DR but she wasn't as talkative as normal (it was 7am so that could be why! ;-) ). She said we may be able to get 2 eggs from the right side but the left side was very "prolific" (since it was very early - I had to look that one up LOL - it means "marked by abundant inventiveness or productivity "). She didn't really say much except that it looked good and we'd probably have to do meds one more night. SO I have been a little anxious all morning waiting for that call!

The nurse just called and apparently my bloodwork took forever to get back (go figure!!). I have quite the instructions:

Today (Sunday): Take 1 Ganirelex shot as soon as I hung up with her (10:45am)
6 vials of Repronex (450 iu!!) tonight at 8pm (I have been on 4 vials)

Monday: 3 vials of Repronex at 8:00am
(going to be shooting up and running out the door to work!!)
1 shot of Ganirelex at 10:45am (at work - that should be interesting!
At least it's in the thigh)
1 shot of hCG at 10pm

Tuesday: Nothing (WOO HOO - I need a shot free day after Monday!!)

Wednesday: Egg Retrieval at 8am (have to be at the hospital at 7am)

Start Progesterone shots Wedn. night

Thu and Fri: Progesterone shots

Saturday: Embryo Transfer (7/7/07 - all those 7's! Isn't it lucky number 7 - maybe we'll be lucky!??)

Saturday - pregnancy test - Progesterone shots

BUSY BUSY!! The rest of the news was good I think. From my appointment today - I have 13 follicles, my E2 (estrogen) level is 1157 and my lining is 9.4. SO by the time I get to retrieval and transfer I would think I should be good. As usual keeping our firngers crossed!! ;-)

PS: So far - I'm thinking I'm not fond of the Ganirelex. The shot wasn't bad but I have a funny taste in my mouth and I'm a bit nauseas. I really hope this works!!!
