BIG Week!!!
For all who care ---- here is my schedule for the next two weeks:
Monday 10/3 - Final ultrasound tomorrow morning. I have one follicle that they are trying to get to catch up in size with the rest - being a little stinker. Part of me says lets go ahead without that one - the other part of me says maybe that's my baby (or one of them!!!) Nurse will call me tomorrow afternoon to tell me what time to "trigger" myself. Meaning - what time to give myself my HCG injection.
Tuesday 10/4 - Will has to take cipro at bedtime. Nothing to eat or drink after midnight.
Wednesday 10/5 - BIG DAY!! Egg retrieval happens - this is an outpatient surgery at UCSF. While I am in surgery, Will makes his sperm donation. As soon as they have all the eggs and sperm, into the petri dish they go. I start some medicine called Medrol for 5 days. Will be resting for one - two days after this.
Thursday 10/6 - ANOTHER BIG DAY!! On this day we will get the fertilization report from the RN. This is when they tell you how many viable embryos you have and how all of your embryos are looking. You would hate to get to this point and not have any good embryos.
Friday 10/7 - Our 5 year wedding anniversary - start Progesterone injections (in the you know where.)
Saturday 10/8 - THE BIGGEST DAY!!! TRANSFER DAY!!!!! Take a valium and drink 32 oz. of water right before. From what I've been told, they put a catheter in you and you watch the whole thing on the ultrasound machine. They transfer the embryos through the catheter and you see a little "poof" on the screen each time one goes in. I am planning on laying flat for four days after this procedure. No work - Nothing!
Sunday 10/9 - Thursday 10/20 - Continue Progesterone injections and take Estradiol twice daily.
Friday 10/21 - PREGNANCY TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 21st seems like a lifetime away. Please friends, relatives, whomever KEEP ME BUSY!!
I'll keep you posted as the week progresses - please keep us in your prayers!
