Junior Friday? ![]()
I had a horrible evening/night (but spoiler alert, I'm feeling better this morning). I was killing time before an evening work meeting at Target when I got a call that turned out to be from my fertility doc. He was pretty much calling to manage my expectations - he said not as many follicles were growing as he would have expected and so if we went ahead with a retrieval we would probably only get 2/3/4 eggs, not the 5/6/7 eggs he had projected. He still suggested going ahead and continuing stimulation and retrieval, but wanted to make sure we knew what was up. Well, isn't that a kick in the pants? Especially while in the middle of Target.
I promptly bought one of those little packets of Cadbury Mini Eggs and wallowed (thank god for the little bag - 190 calories was worth it, damnit).
This morning I went to my monitoring appointment and the doc himself did the ultrasound and said things actually looked a little better to him. It still isn't 50 follicles like some women get, but it looks more like 4 are maturing and another 1 or 2 might catch up between now and the retrieval.
Talk about roller coaster of emotions! Anyway, looking like the retrieval will be Monday...
TSS: just under 5 years (not a vet yet)
B: coffee, coffee, coffee and egg cups
S: cottage cheese
L: turkey sticks, yogurt, string cheese
S: apple and almonds
D: more pork
S: pb pretzels and Thin Mints...do as I say, not as I do
Is it the weekend yet?!

all you need is ONE GOOD ONE, just remember...I remember being really disappointed when I had my retrieval and they only got 9--then only 5 were even viable for fertilization...but out of them, 2 ended up perfect embryos, and I just needed the one!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending out all the positive vibes ![]()

I can't take credit for "Junior Friday," I think that was Emiepie
Aww Anny what a ****ty phone call to get in the middle of Target before having to go into an evening meeting. It was super nice of the doc to give you a head's up, I would have wanted that but crappy timing!
I am sending tons of baby dust follicle growing power from Canada for you! ![]()
I call it a win that you only had one small bag of the cadbury mini eggs, the damage could have been worse right! You got this babe. ![]()
