Hello everyone!
A lot has happened and, while I’ve been updating on IG, I haven’t done the best of jobs updating on this cycle. So, let me bring you all up to speed. I posted on IG that my right side follicles were growing like champs, but my left was a bit more sluggish. That didn’t really concern me at first because it has always been a bit more sluggish. But my right side started breaching 20 mm on Friday and by yesterday (Saturday CD 11), I actually had one trying to nudge 22. The ultrasound technician actually spoke out loud that she wondered how much further “they would be willing to push it”. My nurse A. happened to be at the weekend monitoring location so after the ultrasound was complete, I went into a separate room with her to discuss trigger information. I actually left skeptical because my left side still hadn’t caught up. There was one 19 mm on that side. Everything else was 14-16.
Fast forward to yesterday evening while lounging with S. and the phone rings. The nurse tells me that I was going to trigger that night at 8PM! My retrieval has been scheduled for 8AM tomorrow and S. and I have to be there at 6AM. Wow! I was NOT expecting that. I suppose I should have been though.
I am on the same protocol from cycle 1 and I triggered on CD 11 then. So, I guess it really is history repeating itself.
Tonight, I have developed some sort of stomach bug. I suspect it is from the burger I ate last night. It came back immediately after I ate it (TMI). Today, I was feeling a bit blah, but figured it was just my being tired. I took a nap after church, had a bit to eat and my antibiotic for tomorrow, and then twenty minutes later I’m in the bathroom.
Ugh. I am hoping it will run its course tonight. I can’t take anything after midnight and I am rapidly approaching midnight.
Here’s praying tonight will calm my belly and that tomorrow will be okay.
Have a great evening.
