Today was my first appt. with my RE since I began the shots last Thurs. After a blood test and a short wait I was excited to find out how many eggs I have growing in there. Several minutes passed while the technician was poking around in there looking for follicles. FINALLY she began measuring them. I have 9. Yes, only 9. I am on so much medication! 4 vials of Repronex, 4 vials of Bravelle, 1 vial of Luveris and two Clomid pills every day! I can't believe how my body just does not respond to it. Oh well, nothing I can do about it. I just hope those 9 are good quality and that at least half of them make it to blastocysts. My surrogate also had an appt. at the same time and I got to see her. Everything looks great with the lining. she is so positive this will work. I am soooo glad these guys are going into her healthy, happy, normal, optimistic body.
Emotionally I am a wreck. I have done really well up until today. I don't know if it was the dr. visit or if it is just all the drugs finally kicking in and turning me into a lunatic. I am so grumpy and irritable. My retrieval may be bumped back until the 17th. That would mess many things up. My husband, Aaron (for future reference), would have to take the day off work--the day after getting back from spring break. That is never easy. Then the transfer wouldn't be until the next Sat. when I am 'supposed' to be at a women's retreat at the beach an hour away with my mom. I have had this to look forward to for many months and what are the odds that it would be THAT Saturday that the transfer would be scheduled on?! We will see. If those eggs get growing by the u/s on Thurs then HOPEFULLY the retrieval will still be on Easter. Please, oh please be on Easter.
In other news, Petey's "nose" is stuffed tonight. He has been off his medication for 4 days. I will need to be put in a padded room if he gets sick again. I just can't handle any more right now.
