One couple's journey through the art of ART.

Stimulation Day 5

Another solo appointment. Bloodwork and ultrasound this time. During the ultrasound they are looking to count how many follicles are over a size 10. They were expecting for a couple to be at that point, but I had 14! Those eggs were cookin' at high heat! So, it's still early, but looking like retrieval will be on first possible day, Wed, April 13th. Only a 10% chance of that happening. I left the appointment smiling and freaking out all at the same time. Is this really happening? It all seems so quick now. I had to immediately call Baby Daddy to tell him the good news. And, then had to call him back 20 minutes later as I was freaking out that our Baby Egg was being pumped up artifically with all these drugs...what will be the long term effects? Should we really be playing with science like this? I'm scared, excited, nervous....all kinds of feelings. Like they said, this is a rollercoaster ride. Assuming retrieval happens on 4/13, that puts transfer on 4/16 or 4/18. Wow, I will be conceiving a baby next week. I really can't believe it. I'm scared to plan too much based on what we have gone through up to this point. As they say, it truly is a miracle. We are blessed.
