Hurray!!! We finally got some good news today, I was cleared for my trigger shots, which are the last injections I take to get my eggs ready for retrieval. The egg retrieval is scheduled 35 hours from the trigger shot...so we need to be in Miami bright and early Thursday morning.
Last night I woke up to belly scratches and the sound of Tyson's voice talking to the follies and telling them to grow, and it worked (it was definitely one of his sweetest moments ever, he even sang them a lullaby). My ultrasound revealed one size 18 follie and two 17s and a handful of 16s...so we need these follies to grow...there is still time and they had me take an extra shot of menopur (drug to help them grow) this morning...the more large follies the more chances of retrieving a mature egg and creating a strong and healthy embryo...which translates into a strong and healthy baby Franco.
All these drugs have caused side affects that will not be missed...but it's going to take a while for my ovary swelling to go down, I'm not exaggerating when I say I look like I'm a good 2 months pregnant, I can't even wear pants to work in the morning, I've gained an official 5 lbs, although I feel like it's all in my chest...I'm a little worried about how big my boobies will be in the end, they are already so sensitive and painful, but it will all be worth it, every last pound I gain, I just can't wait until I actually have a baby in my belly to blame it all on, for now I'll just blame the injections. A good side affect, the prenatals are making my nails super strong and I'm having excellent hair growth.
So tonight I will say goodbye to seeing needles and alchohol swabs covering our counters. You have taught me courage and showed me strength I didn't know I had, but you will NOT be missed.
The journey continues and we are that much closer to the beautiful end...
