Denver Day 3 - Sunday Morning

As of right now we still do not know when we will be doing egg retrieval. My doctor has slowed my medication intake down a bunch in hopes of slowing my follicles from maturing so quickly. We went in for a blood test and ultra sound this morning and should hear from the nurse in the next few hours for further instructions. We were told that if my estrogen levels off today we should be able to take the “trigger” shot today and then do egg retrieval on Tuesday. The trigger shot is the big shot that will tell my body to go an ahead and finish maturing my eggs so that they are ready when the doctor goes into get them. I am a little nervous about this injection because this one will need to be given intramuscular rather than in my belly and the needle is about three times as big as the ones I have been taking. I have a feeling that my dad will need to hold me down while Wayne gives me this shot :)
