Today was the first day without any injections. I administered the "trigger" hCG shot with my husband's help last night at 11pm. That was the last shot needed before the retrieval tomorrow. I don't miss shots, but I feel funny without them. It feels not normal. Also, I did not have to go back to see my doctor today. No ultrasound. No blood draws. I should feel good about not going to a doctor's office, but I wanted to see those follicles. I learned about their progress every day during the past few days, and I feel anxious not knowing how they are doing today. I guess I'll know tomorrow. Tomorrow is the retrieval. The big day!
I wanted to do something productive today. But I couldn't force myself. I am so distracted. I guess I'm pretty nervous about tomorrow. I'm not nervous about the procedure but the result. How many eggs will I get? I hope for a good number.
About Me
- Aya
- Having been raised by a single mother, it's been my dream to have a "normal" family with a father, a mother, and children since I was a kid. I got married to a wonderful husband Mike eight years ago. I love my job - I am an oncology nurse taking care of people undergoing bone marrow transplant. Mike got his Master's in Clinical Social Work last year. He recently started his career as Substance Abuse Specialist. We thought it was time to expand our family. One year later, I was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve at age of 32 with an elevated FSH level. My doctor thinks I need "aggressive" interventions right away. I am going to have my first IVF in September 2010.
