So I am officially less than a week away from the Egg Retrieval. My doc says either next Wednesday or Thursday!
My follies are looking good - I still have 30 but she doesn't think all of them will produce eggs to be retrieved (no worries, there is a lot there to choose from!) Right now the majority of them are measuring at 12mm (and I have been complemented on good grouping!)
I can definitely feel them now. Things are starting to get very crowded! I also am getting very tired. So I am looking forward to triggering!
My belly and arms are covered in hematomas - pretty ugly to look at!!
But no complaints!!! I am getting excited!! (Finally)

Did you say 30 follicles?
Um, wow little "Lefty" (that's what I call my remaining ovary) you have been an overachiever this cycle! My doc counted between 29 and 31 follicles that all looked pretty serious.
What does this mean? Well I might hyper-stimulate so I will go in everyday now. And I might trigger with Lupon instead of the Ovadril. Also I might have to start taking the Ganarelix sooner than expected. Also my least favorite prospect - I might have to take Progesterone in Oil - which I have heard is not pleasant at all!! But it might be better than dealing with the cream. We'll just have to wait and see what my body does.
My doctor is amazed at how different this cycle has been. Last time I was on 450 units of Follistim (Which is the most that they will give to someone) - Now I might go lower than 250!
Good Job Lefty!!!!!
Also on my post yesterday I got a lot of responses about the shirt I was wearing - OLD NAVY!!! I Love that store!

Pre-evaluation Done!
Well I had my IVF pre-eval done this morning. Everything looks great! No Cysts! I had 14 baseline follicles (not bad for only one ovary!!!).
I also had my blood work done. My veins are already acting up! The nurse had to poke me twice - something to look forward to later I guess!!
I will start the injections on Saturday. I am gearing myself up to do this all again. It is such a weird feeling going through a second IVF. I am excited but also a little numb. I know how physically and emotionally challenging it all is. I just can't wait for the good part, a BFP with lots of good blastocysts to freeze. I am focusing on this.
