Well, today was our last stimulation check. We knew from the last appointment on Monday that we had some growing, and we knew from the pains that they must be getting bigger. So, we went in for the u/s (it really hurt this time) and were pleasantly surprised that we had 12 EGGS!!!! Yep, we have 6 on each side and they are measuring between 13 and 18 mm. From what I could tell, the doctor was pleasantly surprised as well. I really have started to think that this clinic is more about quality than quantity which I think is a pretty good thing. I just want to have some still available just in case this does not work.
So, after the u/s, we went back into the office and discussed the protocol for the rest of the process. Since I am completely out of Puregon, they are having me take the Menopur that we have not used yet. I will take 4 vials today and 3 tomorrow along with the Decapeptyl that I already take in the morning. Should be interesting because I hear that Menopur really burns and I would imagine so since they said to only use one vial of liquid for 4 vials of meds. So, I will do this today and tomorrow, and then Sunday night I will do the trigger shot (at 11pm) to help with the releasing of my eggs (1 shot in my left side and 1 shot in my right side). Then I will go in Tuesday morning for the retrieval. They told me that I should bring a big t-shirt and socks. I guess knowing the German clinics, if I forget, I will be laying there naked, lol.
The funny thing is that what worries me the most (after whether any embryos will make it) is the fact that I can not drink anything after 10pm Monday night. I will go crazy. Guess somebody is going to bed early that night. Grrrrrrrrrrr.......
