Until Tomorrow February 23, 2010
It turns out that Dan did not lose any of his great IM shot technique, because trigger went just fine last night. I’ve been giving myself my own subq’s, because it’s just easier for me to do them myself, but Dan stepped up to the plate for the big one last night. Today’s bloodwork was all fine, so we’re a go for retrieval tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the day that makes me the most nervous about this whole cycle. I’m not worried about retrieval. Been there, done that. Just looking forward to some yummy drugs and a little shut eye.
No, it’s the thaw that’s got my attention. We have one vial of Dan’s sperm left, and there’s no way to know if there’s going to be enough motile sperm after the thaw. They’ve had trouble finding them in the past, so there’s no reason to think the last vial is going to be any different. I really, really don’t want to have gone through this for nothing.
I don’t know if we’ll find out the state of things tomorrow or if we’ll have to wait until the fertilization report on Thursday. You can bet I’ll be asking, though.
Oh, isn’t the suspense of IVF so much fun?
