So I went for another ultrasound and more blood work this morning. Ovaries are measuring 14 and RE wants them at least 18 for the ER. So another ultrasound and blood work on Wed.
What I am so pissed about is that when the nurse was getting bravelle to loan me until Wed., she asked if I was ok on SQ needles.....WELL, we have being doing them IM with a 22 gauge 1 1/2 inch needle in the glute because that is what we were told to do in the injection training class. They hurt like hell and I could have been doing them SQ with a tiny ass needle this whole f-ing time! klsdfnhbklsdbhksbladjfkldaj
Not to mention, last time when I week when I went for ultrasound and blood work, the nurse gave me menopur instead of bravelle and I'm wondering if this is why my girls aren't at 18 now because I am responding differently to the 3 vials of menopur I did last night. I should have said something when she gave it to me but dummy me thought it was just a generic or something AND I shouldn't have to question it when my chart is right there.
Just venting ladies. My butt is sore for no reason. So, most likely, ET is going to be Friday. I am a little nervous because my right ovary wants to hide behind my uterus and RE said it can be difficult ET when it's like that.
Thanks for listening. I feel a little better now.

Also sorry for the medication mix up! How crazy? Urgh! Glad you have what you need now.
Don't worry about the ovary hiding. If it's a bit harder, then that is on the Dr, not you! You just go ahead with what is on your plate and don't worry about theirs. I'm sure it will be no issue at all, just might take them an extra few minutes to get to that ovary.
Good luck and hang in there!
I'm really annoyed on behalf of your ass that they never told you that you could do those subcutaneously. Might be worth letting that one slip to your doctor. And just remember - slow and steady wins the race and this is definitely not a race. I bet you'll get the green light to trigger after your next monitoring appointment :)
I might be ready to go Wednesday after all. Thanks for your support ladies!
