Ovarian Update


We're headed to retrieval.

The Nurse said that things have developed really well over the last 2 days, and that my ovaries seem to be "getting the message".

Final Count: 4 maturing follicles, 2 hopefuls

E2=2125 (promising!)

Trigger: Wednesday night

Appointment with shrink: Thursday

Retrieval: Friday

I am so relieved that we're finally going through with this.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me through phone calls, texts, comments, and e-mails these last few days. Your support has been uplifting and much appreciated. I sincerely believe your prayers made all the difference.

I'll keep you posted.

Leslie - Glad you're going to retrieval. That looks like some whoppers of follicles you've got there! It is so difficult when our bodies don't respond the way they want them to. I'm so used to accomplishing everything else in my life through sheer force of will it's tough to be so helpless.

Like that you've got the shrink appt squeezed in there. Good to deal with all the stress!

hang in there. I'm just a couple of days behind you!

I've been nibbling my fingernails reading the blog every couple of
days and just wanted to shout gleefully at the good news --yippee!! We're
sending lots of positive vibes to you, L., & your persevering (and
healthy, thank goodness) ovaries. Hope the retrieval is smooth and
super-productive. It's showtime! :-D {{much love & hugs}} Love, P.F.
