Trigger Happy

I have to enjoy the good news when I get it. God knows I will not have any trouble getting depressed should there be reason to do so. It would seem there is reason to be cautiously optimistic at this stage. I have probably five potential eggs; based on follicle size and estrogen levels. So we are triggering tonight at 9:30pm. Egg pick up on Monday. I know many people get many more eggs than that, but I was starting to wonder if I was going to get any at all (last time in the cycle that got cancelled there was only one follicle).

So as Coach Louise suggested in her last comment, some pampering is in order. This will mostly consist of not waking up at 6:00am to either inject myself or drive to the clinic tomorrow. Apart from that I’ll probably just try to get some studying done. And to not think constantly about whether-this-is-going-to-work… Now that something’s happening it all seems very fast. Years of waiting and trying and hoping and suddenly-we’re on! Of course it may all be over just as quickly but right now I’m going to focus on keeping my eggs warm.
