The Big Chill

Well, it's decided. We will have to do a 'freeze all'.

This morning in the ultra-sound they found fluid accumulating in my ovaries (or maybe the uterus, not sure which), and my lining is still too thick. Also, the bloodwork showed that my estrogen level has gotten too high.

I am stopping all my shots except for 2 special shots I have to take tonight. One is called Ganirelix and the other is my trigger shot, called Novarel. We will do the trigger shot tonight at 10:45 pm and then go in for the retrieval at 8:45 am on Saturday morning.

They'll retrieve the eggs, fertilize them, and then freeze the embryos.

Apparently it can take as little as 3 weeks to get my body ready for another transfer. We'll find out more when we meet with the doctor on Monday for a 're-group'.

Bummer....
