I took the trigger shot! I had a little mini crisis. I didn't have one of those plastic connector pieces for it to get the medicine out of the vial. For the Menopur shots that I mixed each time I had a plastic piece which made it very easy to get the medicine out. For the HCG (trigger shot) Ryan helped me get the medicine out with the needle and I was able to give the injection. I don't know if Walgreens was suppose to send me the plastic piece for it... The vials were much bigger than the Menopur vials so I couldn't use those for it. Then I was looking at the bottles and they said "multiple dose vial" on the side of it... I followed all the directions exactly as I was given and used 1 ml of the water provided and mixed it with the powder and then drew up the entire contents of the vial. So hopefully I was suppose to get the "multiple dose." This is the first little mini freak out that I have had.... I just want to do it right. So I started to panic a little and of course got on the computer... which is never a good thing. I quickly found myself completely overtaken by God's presence. I closed out of the websites and immediately felt God tell me that He is in control. I began praying. I have been praying during this whole process. I know many of you are praying for us too! He is in control and I am reminded that it is His miracle! I pray that his hands run through the medicine and my body so they can do what they are suppose to do. I pray he provides wisdom and knowledge for the doctors and nurses and that the timing will be right and that their hands will be guided.
My estrogen levels were at 1075 on Sunday. Yesterday and today I really began to feel a lot more pressure around my ovaries. Most of the follicles are about 17-18 mm today. I have 11-12 on each side! I really do kinda feel like I am about to burst at the seams! LOL Take a look at a ruler... 17 mm seems really big!! I am ready... I am ready for the next step!
My retrieval appointment is set for 7:30 am on Wednesday. The transfer is scheduled for Monday.
My mom is coming up tomorrow, Tuesday, to help out!!
Oh sweet friend! Blessings and prayers continue for you and your sweet family!
