IVF Injections – Day 9

About to Trigger

I had a new doctor at this appointment since it was on a Saturday and they only had one doctor on call. I can’t complain because he did find fourteen follicles (YAY!), but my word, did this ultrasound hurt. He pushed on my ovaries looking for the follicles, and I just about came off the table. With my hormones jumping up, my emotions were a little more on my sleeve than normal (which David was not too excited about). When I saw he found fourteen, I was fine with it, but at the time, it was very not fine.

They informed us after the ultrasound that we would be doing our trigger shot the next day (Sunday) and our retrieval would be Tuesday! It was such a relief. It was such a weight that was lifted. I am so ready to not feel like this any more. I’m fine with needles. They don’t bother me, but this cycle has made me dislike needles with a passion. I know I have two months of progesterone in front of me after this, but I would love to not see a needle for a very long time when this is done.
