Trigger Happy February 22, 2010

I guess my follicles must have gotten the memo that I was ready to be done, because they had a nice little growth spurt overnight. This morning I had nine over 15mm, with four of those leading the pack at 19mm, plus six smaller ones. Much better. E2 was 4082 and P4 was 1.6, so I’m definitely ready to trigger.

The only not so great news from this morning was that my lining has shrunk. The first time it was measured it came in at 8.3mm, a full 2mm down from yesterday. I had her remeasure it, and it was 8.7mm. My lining has a tendency to do this at the end of a cycle, and it’s still over 8mm, so we’re good. It just would have been nice for it to stay at 10.

So, I get to trigger tonight at 10:00. I’m glad it’s not late, because the damn Dex has had me totally awake since 3:30 this morning. It’s back to the office tomorrow morning for post trigger bloodwork, and then I’m first up at ER on Wednesday morning at 8:30.

This cycle has been pretty surreal so far. I mean, we still haven’t told anyone we’re doing it, although I guess Dan will probably have to mention it to someone at work since he’ll be out on Wednesday.

Let’s just hope we don’t get snatched back into reality this week. The really hard parts are still yet to come.

Not sure how it’s possible for lining to shrink, you are some kind of medical wunderkind! Glad to hear the follicles are behaving, fingers crossed.

Hope the triggering went well. Those thing used to make me sick and woosy so I hope you tolerate it better than me. Good luck with the retrieval!

9 over 15mm? That is AMAZING Amanda! Fabulous numbers!!! And the smaller ones can grow 2mm a day as you know…so you might have a few more to surprise you!

Here’s to a fabulous retrieval day for you!!
