This morning they checked again and it looks like all my follicles in the right ovary are over 1.0 cm now, so that's good. There's even one in there that is 1.96 cm so it's ready to go! The rule is that they will wait until at least half of them are between 1.8 and 2.0 cm before they trigger me. It's now looking like the retrieval is going to be on Saturday or Sunday.
Kelly's doctor has to leave town on an unplanned trip this weekend, so he will not be able to do Kelly's retrieval, but his partner will do it instead. Also, my doctor is not working this weekend, so I will have one of the others from CCRM doing my retrieval. Should we be worried?
My nurse said I needed to eat even more salty foods (she recommends Chinese) and drink even more salty fluids (she recommends Gatorade). She said if I wasn't going to the bathroom every hour then I am not drinking enough.
I finally can feel what's going on inside me now. Every time I sit down it feels like there is something inside me stabbing at my ovaries. It only happens when I sit and goes away almost immediately after I get situated. I am also starting to get bloated, which is the thing everyone said is the worst part of this whole process. Apparently it gets even worse in the 2 weeks after the retrieval. Yipee!
Oh, and a terrible thing happened today at the doctor's office. The first place she poked me to take my blood "didn't cooperate" so she had to poke me again! Horror of horrors!
