Baby 2.0

A little bit behind on the details...but here's a recap of the past couple months:
June - Finally saw a knowledgeable doctor who diagnosed me with hypothyroidism....now we wonder if that played a role in our 1st IVF attempt...we'll never know for sure
July 14 - Start taking daily ovulation tests in order to start Cetrotide injection in hopes of getting more mature eggs this round
July 16 - Think I have positive test, but can't tell for sure so do 2nd test that comes out negative
July 22 - Start to panic that ovulation already occured so go in for ultrasound that confirmed I did ovulate! Good thing I followed my hunch....Cetrotide injection tonight
July 25 - 6 weeks post endo appointment, 2 lab tests later and cleared to start 2nd IVF attempt
July 26 - Start period early - only 21 day cycle
July 27 - Suppression check - 15 follicles and all good to go!
July 28 - 1st day of stimulation meds
Aug 1 - Day 5 ultrasound and blood check - 13 developing eggs
Aug 4 - Day 8 ultrasound and blood check - 13 mature eggs - doc wants to go 1 more day to try and get more mature eggs - I am so tired of the 3-4 nightly injections now and am glad to have this part over.
Aug 5 - Day 9 ultrasound and blood check - 14 mature eggs - HCG tonight, which means Aug 7th retrieval
Aug 6 - Anxious for tomorrow's retrieval....feeling really full and looking 5-6 months pregnant!
