The Eye of the Hurricane September 15, 2004
That’s what it feels like right now. I’ve been through so much to get to this point, but I know that there’s still so much to go through. Right now I’m just waiting. It feels weird not to do anything IVF related today. No needles to inject, no pills to pop, just the anticipation of what’s to come.
I triggered last night at 8:30. Actually it was more like 8:38, but I doubt that makes a huge difference. It’s so ironic, because all along I’ve been anal about having my injections done at the exact same time every day even though they really didn’t have to be that precise. But the one night where the timing really matters, and I get distracted with something else. I looked down at my watch last night and it was 8:35. I yelled at my husband, and we both flew into the kitchen. It was a good thing that I triggered with the Ovidrel prefilled syringes, because it only took us a few minutes to pop those suckers into my stomach. It’s funny now, but at the time I was freaking just a tad.
So, now I just sit and wait and try to ignore the fact that my ovaries are killing me. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes well tomorrow. All I have to say is that there better be at least a few eggs in there.

It just seems wrong that you mention jabbing needles into your stomach, and my body isn’t wretching uncontrollably at the thought.
Best of luck to you tomorrow!!!
Good luck to you tomorrow! I will be thinking about you!
That is great about triggering! I think you have made it through the hardest part. (People who hate the prog shots may disagree but I found them to be a relief after all the tummy pain and I have nice, uh.. padding on my hips) I can’t WAIT to hear how the retrieval goes tomorrow! GOOD LUCK!!
I imagine your husband is taking time off from his “high laying” job to be there with you all day :-) If he is like mine, he will have the laptop going in the waiting room…

Good luck tomorrow! I can’t wait to hear how it goes. In fact, I already told dear hubby that he’d have to log on and do blog checking for me since I’m going to refuse to sit up until at least Friday.
We’re both getting there . . . yay, us!
