It's a date

When I went to the doctor this morning, we found that I have lots of follicles that are borderline mature, but still a bit small. The ideal thing would be to wait until they are just a bit bigger. But, there was some concern that my body might be trying to ovulate and release the eggs before they could go in and retrieve them. In that case, it would be better to schedule the surgery with the hope that they would be mature enough by the time they get out. Based on my bloodwork though, the doctor seems to think that we are not in danger of that happening and wants to wait one more day, to get the most mature eggs possible.

So, tomorrow morning I start taking antibiotics and tomorrow night I will do my hCG injection. Then, I am scheduled for my retrieval on Friday morning at 6am!!

I was a little bit disappointed to hear that we are going to wait ANOTHER day. Every day that passes, I get a little bit more anxious and a little bit more physically uncomfortable. But, I trust the "experts" and certainly want to have the best outcome possible.

On Saturday morning, they will call us to tell us how many baby Woolleys are growing in the lab! :) And based on the quality of the embryos, we will know if they will transfer them back in on Monday or Wednesday. That is when my three days of bedrest will begin.
