another appointment down. i went in this morning for another blood draw and scan, i think i could drive to overland park with my eyes closed at this point. my scan was to check and see how many follicles there are resting on my ovaries. remember, the follicles produce eggs. i was pleased to learn i have an average amount of follicles at this time. although i only have 5 on the side with the smaller ovary, i have 11 on the other side. even though i have a decent number of follicles, they are growing at a fairly slow rate which means my egg retrieval might be next friday or saturday instead of thursday. if egg retrieval is on friday implantation will be on the following wednesday, if it is on saturday implantation will be the following thursday. i should know more next tuesday when i go in for another blood draw and scan. my estradiol was 694 which brandi said is perfect!
i took maddox to mornings with mom today because cassidy had clinicals. it was a nice reminder of why we are going through all of this. i look at maddox and zoe and can't possibly imagine how you could love anything more. i think being a parent, while the most challenging job ever, has to be the most rewarding. i can't wait until our little ones are here, maddox, zoe and rayna will be fabulous role models.
overall, i am feeling very good, better than i could have ever imagined. i have surprised myself with how well i have been able to handle all of this. the hormone shots have been going very well and will soon be over. i must say this whole process has been going by a lot quicker than i had anticipated but i am so ready to do this! i was hoping they would be moving my appointment up rather than back...oh well, it will be here in no time at all. i will be sure to post an update after our appointment on tuesday!
