Me oh my, it's coming to an end....
I guess I haven't posted in a while...The life of an IVF'r is kind of hectic...between shots and more shots, bloodwork, ultrasounds, etc...oh yea and sleep...It's hard to have any free time. So, where we stand now is...well, close to the end. I took Ovidrel tonight at approximately 10 pm. This is the hcg trigger shot, and my retrieval will be Tuesday morning..I am so excited, but so scared. This has been a long, long journey, and I am so thrilled that it is coming to an end..My stomache hurts, my back hurts, it hurts to use the bathroom, it hurts to go from sitting to standing or vice versa. But, more so than physically, this journey has been emotionally demanding, emotionally draining. I am so terrified...Terrified of being put to sleep Tuesday, terrified of the pain afterwards, terrified that I may get OHSS ... Before that terrified that I didn't have enough follicles, terrified that they weren't growing quickly enough, terrified that my E2 wouldn't rise like it is supposed to, or would rise too much. It's just a scary road. But will be well worth it in the end when I am hearing the heartbeat of my precious child for the first time. God, please let this work..Please give us our miracle..Please make our family complete..Please
