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!

21 follies!
Hi everyone!
I had my day 4 stim check. I have about 21 follicles (all about 6 - 9 mm), which is really great compared to last time during day 4. My body actually seems to be cooperating this time!! They bumped the follistim back a little so I don't hyper-stimulate. I have a feeling I will go in everyday, so they can monitor me closely, which is fine.
Other than that I have been pretty lazy. I actually took a nap on Sunday which I never do! This process just takes a lot out of you. I am getting excited, but it's like there is a cap to it. So much of me has this attitude of "been there done that". I'm not anxious like last time; but I also feel a little numb to it as well. I think when I trigger I will get excited, maybe my brain is protecting me from getting my hopes too high.
