Time to Pull the Trigger

So yesterday was an eventful day. I had another fun ultrasound and blood draw, and then a long wait for a phone call. Work was pretty slow on Friday so it was really hard to keep my mind busy. I was concerned about when we would trigger. I had one really big follicle and a few smaller ones. The ultrasound tech was not sure if they would trigger me yesterday or today, and I was concerned that I was not progressing the way I should. Well the office called yesterday afternoon and said that I was ready to go. I then almost had a heart attack when I received my instructions. I found out that I needed two doses of Ovidrel and the pharmacy only gave me one. I asked the nurse and she told me that was "unfortunate", and I thought the world was going to end. I got off the phone and ran, literally ran up to the pharmacy. I was freaking out, and was for sure that I was going to mess all of this up. Fortunately for me the Pharmacy had the meds in stock and were able to fill it before I left work. I was so blessed!!

So James and I were told to do the trigger shot at 11:45p. It had to be right on time, so I of course fell asleep and James kindly woke me up around 11:30p. Waiting for 15 mins to do the shots seemed like forever, I can only imagine how the next 14-16 days are going to go. I must be getting good at the whole shot thing because they didn't hurt at all. I had to go for one last blood test this morning to make sure my hormone levels were in the right range. My levels must have been good because I didn't get a call this afternoon. I received my final instructions for tomorrow and the following days, and then the nerves set in. I left the doctors office with this great high, it was a mix of excitement and wonder. Then through the day it turned into nervousness and excitement, and a little bit of worry. I am not worried about results, I am worried about getting an IV tomorrow. Last time I had an IV I had a panic attack. I really hope that doesn't happen tomorrow, I can't imagine that would be a good thing. So tomorrow is the first big day for us. I am excited and anxious and a bunch of other emotions. When I think about all that we have been through up to this point it almost freaks me out to think we are nearing the end. All of the shots and IVF talk have become a normal routine for me. I guess that I don't have to miss the shots to much, as the big guns come out tomorrow. That is a whole other animal.

Please say a prayer for us for tomorrow, and thank you!
