Home Stretch

This is the home stretch. This is the last week of the 2 week wait. I felt like just giving a little update on how I was feeling.

After the trigger shot on Thurs (14th) my ovaries felt they were going to explode come Friday. Ovulation is to occur 24-36 hrs after the trigger shot. I had to walk softly & carry & big stick !! Not really carry a stick but it really did hurt. Sitting on my side was better than sitting upright. I felt much better on Sat, as I hope those mature follicles released & gave me some relief. I try to relax & not over do things in these 2 weeks. I don't like to carry a lot of weight as in picking Printston up or carrying in a lot of groceries at one time. So I plan on testing on Friday unless I adventure out to the $ store & buy some cheap tests, last time they had none in stock. Today is day 21 out of my cycle. Last month was a 27 day cycle when I triggered on the same day as I did this month. So I want to test on Friday day 26 JUST in case I need to go do some blood work unless something shows before.

How I feel the outcome will be. I am really excited that I am responding to the meds. I see other ladies on my support group that struggle through their cycles to respond well. I can't wrap the thought around my head that if this doesn't work, will it ever work & what is the problem! I had 6-8 "targets" & "super sperm" to get to those targets & for nothing to work. Dr. K stated Todd's counts are rock solid. I know the % each month with perfect cycles are still only 20-25%. I would like to consider IUI next cycle because the sperm gets much closer to where it needs to be & plus it's cleaned & I will know the counts again. There are moments through the week that I don't feel right or even sleeping, there is pressure/pain. I think "maybe something is working". Given my past & given what I have been through for this is my 27th month now, I won't give up hope until "she" shows.

So here is a mid week update & another update to follow by the end of the week.
