Yippee!

Just got back from the Doc and everything looks good! My egg retrieval is set for Monday morning! I am so beyond excited and incredibly nervous at the same time. One of these eggs inside of my super stuffed ovaries could be one of my babies...amazing! The pain is totally worth it. If you think about it, how many people get to see the egg that will become their baby? Unless you are going through IVF/IUI your chances are slim. Pretty cool experience even though I would rather get pregnant by doing the secret naughty.
I am in quite a bit of discomfort and the doc said it will get worse over the weekend and last throughout next week. My ovaries are being stretched a great deal and the bloating is also causing pressure down yonder. I should clarify that it probably isn't as painful for women who opt to take pain relief. Doc prescribed Vicodin but I hate that stuff so I would rather deal with the pain.  Even though it is allowed, I feel that the less I put into my body, the better it will be for holding onto that embryo. Besides, if I mask the pain, how will I know if anything is wrong? I am happy to report that I didn't have any hot flashes today...thank you Bravelle and Menapur for giving me a break with that one!

So...now I wait for Monday. The day of baby making. The day my DNA and J's DNA will become one. The day that my baby/babies will be conceived.

EF THIS!!!

I don't know if it's the increase in my Menapur or what but these hot flashes are almost unbearable! My sister in law came by today and told me that I was purple. I didn't realize that I changed colors, I only knew that I have little rivers of sweat dripping off of me and that I have had to change my clothes because they are damp with sweat. I wish I wasn't having to work because the only comfort I can find is when I am naked on my bed with a cold wet towel and a fan blowing on me. Yeah.
Cramps are increasing but I have had worse. I am in a really bad mood and I don't think it's the hormones, I think it's the heat. I am done for now...too effing moody to even write.

Still on the Stims...

Saw the Doctor today and everything is looking good. My right ovary is making four pretty eggys and my left (the old lady ovary) is making four eggys also but two are a bit smaller than the others. Doc is upping my Menapur starting tonight to get these ladies to grow up and mature like the rest. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will have some really great eggs that can be fertilized, and hopefully have some embabies to freeze. I am still having headaches and hot flashes throughout the day but its okay. I know it is worth it and the excitement over powers the blahhh and the pain. Everything is starting to happen fast now and I could (please...pretty please, hopefully) be pregnant in less than three weeks! Its my turn now...my turn to finally be a Mommy!
