The nurse called us back fairly quickly, and did my blood work in the conference room. Then we moved on to the ultrasound. The tech today was much more relaxed with the exam, and was able to find my left ovary. She said it was still really far away, but that it was good that it was visible. She measured 11 follicles on the right, and 7 on the left. This is huge! We only started with 19 follicles, and currently have 18 measurable!
We met with Dr. Patel after the exam. She went over procedures for the trigger shot, and explained that we’d be doing a Lupron trigger with an HCG booster to help mature the eggs a little further. We’re also triggering 90 minutes early, again, for better egg quality. Our trigger is set for Sunday night, so today is my last day of stims. Hopefully, the last day ever! They lent us a Ganirelix pen, since we ran out of Cetrotide, and we’re waiting on the bill.
After the appointment, we headed home to get ready for Easter dinner with my side of the family. Linda made chicken nuggets, and we all chipped in to make sides and desserts. Julie, Lilly, and Eliza played together for hours, Shaun took the girls for a ride on the mule, and chaperoned the playground, Sara, Linda, and I talked in the kitchen, and Mom and dad bounced back and forth between conversations. We enjoyed a wonderful meal, then headed home, finished our last time of stims, and crashed hard.
