Egg retrieval day is Saturday!
They moved my egg retrieval day up to this Saturday. We've had a good...and a bad cycle all at the same time. The shots have been pretty good. Though I have to do my trigger shot tonight which I'm dreading since the needle is so long.
Bad, because I have PCOS, so I've produced at least 30 eggs. 13 are ripe and ready to go and 18 are almost mature. I'm sore. And I hurt. The pressure is insane. I'm swollen to the point where I look 4 months pregnant. But I keep telling myself, this will all be worth it.
The next bad thing...my estrogen levels are skyhigh! I'm in hyperstimulation mode the RE says. My estrogen levels should be around 500. Mine are 6500. So, our embryos will be frozen and we'll have to wait a few weeks to implant them after my levels all come back down.
Praying all of these little eggies turn into blastocysts! :)

I\'ll be praying that all goes well! Here\'s to many little blasties :)
P.S. The trigger shot doesn\'t hurt :)
I feel bad for not checking on you :( How\'s it going?
My egg transfer went great. Though, I passed out from the anesthesia and hit my head on a chair in the bathroom. Then I started throwing up all day. I created 51 eggs. Of those, 18 are now frozen. :) I had hyperstimulation so I spent 2 days in the hospital last week after not keeping anything down for days and then not peeing normally like they wanted me to. We\'re getting there. I hope egg implant day will be just a few short weeks away!
It sounds like this has been quite a journey--on top of this rollercoaster ride of IF. Eighteen eggs is awesome! These next few weeks will fly by :)
