big shot

Simply because the universe likes to mess with my whole "I'm not patient" thing, it took a few extra hours today to make a decision: but, long story short, retrieval is on for Thursday morning. (Dear Lord, may this mean that last night was my final meno.pur shot ever.)

13-14 follicles looking good; lining is great. Emotionally, I feel fine - the headaches are gone too - but my goodness, I'm feeling bloated.

That means that tonight, at 8pm sharp, my husband will be doing his one-and-only injection for me, since the clinic has moved from progesterone-in-oil shots to suppositories (less pain: more gross). It's officially big shot night.

And then, after that, we will be putting aside all fertility-related concerns for two hours because - almost as eagerly anticipated as retrieval day - it's the LOST season premiere. 9pm sharp. Two hours in which the state of my ovaries and their contents are not the biggest thing on my mind: sounds good to me.

Also, I messed around with my blog layout. All a part of the "keep mind off ovaries" plan. So far, not terribly successful, but LOST will surely triumph.

  1. It feels good to put those needles away, doesn't it? I have the suppositories as well, but they're the kind you can take orally, or well, the other way. (less sleepy/dizzy as a suppository, but WAY more gross.) You're gonna totally rock retrieval! Good luck!

  8. It's so nice that we have the ability once in a while to get lost in something else and forget about if and treatments for a little while. Hope LOST is great and that you don't even think of IF on commercial breaks!
