Trigger tonight!

I am so not ready for this....

e2 on Friday was actually only 702. Not sure what today's was yet. I do have 7 or so good size on the left still and measured 5 or 6 on the right. I think just doing 1 amp Repron*n slowed my butt down quite a bit. And here I was so tempted to just give myself a wee bit of Gon*al F the last few nights just to see if I could have more follies. I honestly think if I had known it was 700 and not 900, that I would have. No matter, tonight is trigger and we think I will have between 10 and 15 harvested. YaY! Now if I can actually make more then 3 blasts. I am tempted still to do a 3 day instead of waiting until Monday. I will transfer up to 8 or 10 if the good Dr. allows me to.
I think that the last time you do this treatment, changes how you think about it. There are so many more what if's or what should I do, and then the whole feeling of dread that goes along with it. I hope to G0d this works, but now being on the "Dark Side" of the odds, I can't help but feel apprehensive. This is number 5 for me. This is it for us.

I have felt less stress with this cycle so far. I think trying to cycle during a custody battle and all the driving etc., was not in my best interest. Neither was going camping the day of the last transfer. I did find out that I need to be in for retrieval at 8:15 on Wednesday. This is non-negotiable. Here's the problem:

Drive is approximately 2.5 hours during a GOOD rush hour. That is 67 miles 1 way. This is why I no longer work in NoVA. 66 is a nightmare with all the construction and without HOV, may as well back your lunch.

D's kids get on the bus at 7:15.

J goes to his "school" at 8:30.

This is going to be fun!

I will get up and drive myself at 6 AM as I will be driving alone and will not be able to use the HOV lane.

D will get all kids dressed and ready for their day, then get his two to the bus stop by 7:15. He then will have to get J to school and dropped by about 7:30 ( if we can get them to agree to this)

Then he will drive the hell drive to Reston(still no HOV) and hopefully be there by 10 AM to do his part.

Then we need to figure out how to get both damn cars back home before 3oo PM. Or how to get my car back the next day.

I hope I am sedated.

This is what I mean by cycles and feeling less about them. I don't think D has even been to the Dr with me the last 2 cycles at all. It's like it's not as important or something.. He does do all my shots though. : )


YAY again to M for the most beautiful little girl!! http://destinedtobeamom.blogspot.com/
