March 22nd, The Last Follow Up...

Today's appointment was awesome!

We left Bay City, a scrapbooking event, at 5:30 this morning to make it to Ypsilanti by 8am. It was a fine drive, not a lot of people on the road that early on a Saturday. My doctor wasn't there today so I saw the other doctor in the clinic.

First was my ultrasound. We saw a lot of follicles. The doctor said it was somewhere between 20-25 follicles! Holy crap! They will not all mature completely but it's a good number to start with. He said, "it couldn't look any better". We we're so happy!

I then met with a nurse who drew blood to check hormones and went over my next steps.

Here goes:
-Tonight I am to do things as I've been. The Bravelle, Menopur, and Ganirelix injections.
-Sunday I do those injections for the last time. I then do one of my two trigger shots and start taking an antibiotic.
-Monday I have to go back for a blood test. I am to bring my second trigger shot and they will give it to me while I'm there.
-Tuesday is my retrieval day!! Amanda would say they are "harvesting" eggs that day :) I'm going to Rochester Hills for a minor surgical procedure where they will remove all of the eggs. It involves anesthesia, but still pretty minor.

There is more to this calendar, but I'll update again soon.

It has been a great day :)

While we were waiting we had a relaxing weekend in Bay City, we have been planning for our marriage license in Michigan, and we've been working on a couple really cool projects.
