Tentatively, we will trigger tomorrow and do our egg retrieval on Thursday!! Eeeeek! I’m getting both excited and nervous! Based on my doctor of law degree, which means I have absolutely no medical knowledge, it looks like my levels are all progressing as they should and that I have about 10 follicles that may be mature by the retrieval. My doctor seemed to think we are on the right track. Have I mentioned that I love my doctor?

So tonight may be our last night (hopefully ever!) of the crazy hormone shots. If all goes according to plan, we will do the two trigger shots tomorrow. Then NO SHOTS on Wednesday. Woo hoo! Thursday will be the retrieval and fertilization. I will be updated by the clinic so I know how many they retrieved, how many fertilized, and then how many made it to blastocyst stage, which is day 5, I think. Then they will be biopsied for the PGS and frozen until next month when we go in for the transfer.

Right now we are praying hard that we have some mature eggs that fertilize and freeze! We are nowhere near the end of this, but every day we are getting closer and closer.

Thanks for those prayers, and please keep them coming!!!
