It's ON...CD 11


Wow. If I had a dollar for every time I've said that.

I might be able to pay down some of my fertility debt.

Anyhow I had a total of 7 follistim injections at 150 iu for the last 7 nights. Topped with the trigger shot last night at 10p. It wasn't bad at all. Something about "trigger" just makes me think of a hella big needle, but it was quite small and actually less painful (if I would even use that word) than the follistim injections (which I consider even less painful than taking blood because I have hard to find veins) Thus, it was not bad at all. But of course still had mr. sushinut do it because alas I have a needle phobia.

My ultrasound yesterday with mr. backup (who I have come to think I like just as much as mr. frozen embryo) was quite positive. He said my lining was superb (well thank you I try) and that my last blood test showed that my estrogen levels were exactly where they should be. Well that sounds promising but we all know how this goes. He advised me to trigger last night at ten and then went on about the number and timing of intercourse. I had to take notes. Seriously these things are just numbers floating around in my head at this point and I can't keep anything straight. My follicles were definitely bigger. And I was told that I have 1 great one on the right and 2 on the left...or was it vice versa? He also noted the two fibroids that I have and once again I asked if this could be the problem. He said no, and agreed with dr. frozen embryo that they are not in the implantation area so no harm is done by them.

He suspects that I will ovulate in 2-3 days from Monday. My CBFM gave me a peak this morning so I suspect probably sometime tomorrow. I am to wait until Friday to start taking my progesterone and medr*l again (this time the progesterone vaginally ... ugh). Which would be about 3 days after ovulation. Now if I can just get mr. sushinut to have enough stamina for this week (it's a tough work week for him) I'll be in the clear. Let's hope all this hoopla coaxes my eggs to work for me after all. All I need is just one sticky egg.

Hoping for you, too. And timed sex in the middle of the work week BLOWS but I hope you make the best of it :)

Yep, just one good one is all you need. Sounds so easy, ey?

I hope you have an active, lovable and sticky week.

Yeah for moving on to trigger!

I wouldn't wish the suppositories on anyone. Seriously, how many pairs of panties can one woman ruin?

But I've never had PIO shots, either, so I may live to regret bad mouthing the sup's.
