Oct. 17 2009

            I did my final monitoring trip to VA with all the kids this a.m. We were really scared driving in the rain and hydroplaning the whole 3 hours. But we made it there and back safe and sound! Today I am measuring right on with most of the follicles at 22-24. I asked the doc how big that is, when not on the flat screen TV. He said about an inch. With me having about 10 large follicles and 6 other small ones.  I have over 10 inches of follicles in my fallopian tubes and that is the reason for all the pain and pressure. BUT first thing on Monday morning I’ll be going in for surgery to retrieve the eggs. At this time John will be giving his sperm sample and then Microsort will separate them for the female. Then they will choose one sperm and inject it into the egg. The following day they will call us and tell us how our little bean is doing. I was happy to hear that I won’t have to drive to VA tomorrow a.m. So the kids and I are going to just relax and SLEEP! Tonight I have to give myself  a new shot of  HCG and NOT the other shots I’ve been taking. The HCG is to be given 36 hours before they are to retrieve the eggs. Anywhos we are at the finish line now!  BTW I look like a pincushion! It took 3 different nurses and 5 sticks before they hit blood today.
