The blood draws are getting painful, and when doing my meds at home, I manage to hit a blood vein every third injection, which causes bruising, and about every second time it somehow feels like a bit of acid being injected into my body. Truly starting to detest bleeding on a daily basis.
If I'm gonna keep up my whining, I'm going to talk about how tender my stomach is. It's a little beyond tender, and downright hurts when I sit down or bend over. I can feel pressure just standing or laying. I get two more days of growth before retrieval. Cheer up, buttercup... there were ladies in the waiting room today who were striving to get nine eggs, much less over 20. And they were younger. And didn't have two gorgeous kids already.
Okay. 'Nuff of that crap. I'm pumped full of hormones, I'm bursting at the seams, I'm ready to lay down a trail of eggs between here and China. Suddenly I have a bacon craving. And pancakes. Ugh.

This doesn't mean we are getting 30 eggs. It doesn't mean anything other than things are looking great. We stimmed for only ten days and got a fabulous response. It means my lining is great, and all the timing is perfect for David's arrival.
All in all it's great news. Now I wait. I've begun to think about when I can test... I'll have my transfer on Sunday and be 5DPO already... Typically I can get a positive bfp at 8DPO or 9DPO. That means waiting until Wednesday or Thursday to test. Of course.... I'll be testing out my trigger so I know it's not a false positive. And I'm rambling. Later guys... gotta rest for a while and then off to pick up David from the airport.
Wow, this is fantastic news, Sonya! I wasn't expecting this post so soon, but I'm thrilled for you! Everything is looking really good. Fingers and toes crossed for transfer!
