Ultrasound

The day is here. I got up early this morning and got another blood test. Then I had my ultrasound appt today. I have lots of great follicles. The doctor said that he expects to get lots of eggs, like in the high teens! Woo hoo! I know it's not the quantity but the quality but at least we'll have lots to choose from. I still don't know when my retreival will be but the doc said probably Friday. I have another blood test tomorrow and then will know the last set of instructions by tomorrow afternoon.
I'm feeling very crampy and bloated. I can tell those follicles are growing large! I can't believe the time is actually here. This week we are creating our babies. I've been very emotional. It's hard for me to relax and get my mind off all of this. How can you want something so bad and pray for something so much and not be thinking about it all the time? Adam wants me to see the acupuncturist daily so I stay relaxed. I won't be going that much but I'll be going twice this week. Adam is being so caring. He thanked me last night for doing all this to my body. (I was doing a very painful shot at the time.) And when we went to Walmart yesterday he had me touch some baby clothes to give us good luck. He is trying to keep me relaxed and and not stressing over all this and he is constantly telling me how this is going to work. I don't think he realizes how much I need to hear all of that from him. I really need to hear how this is going to work. It helps keep me positive.
Oh and best of all, no shot tonight. I'm just coasting tonight. Yippee!
