Getting Ready for Retrieval

So I went first thing Thursday morning for an ultrasound. It was kind of a dissapointment because we drove two hours for a fifteen minute appointment and for them to tell me I wasn't quite ready to trigger yet. Ohhh well, just another day. Went back again Friday morning with Greg for an ultrasound and things were looking good, they also did an estrogen blood draw. We had to wait for the blood draw results before we knew if we were going to trigger that night or Saturday night. Well the results came back at 3800 which good and they are thinking they will get about 20 eggs. I had to do the trigger shot that night at 10:00 pm and my retrieval procedure is scheduled for 10:00 am Sunday morning. I am so bloated and sore that I can hardly walk. It hurts to sneeze or cough and it's hard to sleep because I am so uncomfterable. Excited to get this part done with, but not excited about the procedure itself. Thank goodness I will be sleeping for it, because the idea of them sticking a needle through my uterus to get to the eggs freaks me out. After the retrieval tomorrow I will probably come home and sleep then I am supposed to start taking more Doxy and Medrol, and then wait to hear the fertilization report. I am praying that everything goes well and for this to work. I will update after the retrieval as soon as I am feeling up to it.
