12 eggs-a-laying

We've made it to Thursday - wait, it is Thursday, right?  I have a tenuous grasp on everything that's transpired in the past 12 hours, that's how out of it I am.  Triggering at 12:20 AM will do that to you, I guess.  If we thought we'd get any sleep last night at all, we were wrong!  I had to confirm with Rhett this morning as we were running out the door at 5:45 that I did indeed take my shots.  No. Memory.  I feel like Ingrid Bergman in "Gaslight."

Turns out things were running so slowly at RMA that we were 40 minutes late getting home, Rhett missed his train, NJ Transit was way behind schedule anyway so he just decided to work from home.  Now we can both nap.

Rhett took great notes from Mel B. this morning so it looks like our count is as follows:

Lining at 7 (we're in implantation range though -- I double-checked)

Left follies
22, 25, 11, 11

Large Marge is approaching the danger zone but as long as she stays under 30 by tomorrow, it should be ok.  If an egg is present in "post-mature" follicles (anything over 28 mm) it typically won't fertilize.  Not a biggie, considering the haul we have on the right.  Someone had to take one for the team.

Right follies
11, 24, 17, 17, 20, 20, 18, 13, 15, 18, 14

This is great!  Even that 13 could be big enough at 15 mm tomorrow to produce a viable egg.  The 11's are out but that's ok.  10 follicles on the right is excellent! 

We have a total of 12 mature follicles.  We can realistically expect half that number to be usable and half again of those that make it to embryo status to become Day 5 blastocysts.  The numbers will begin to dwindle and we have to wrap our heads around that before tomorrow so there aren't any surprises.  When I'm in recovery and they tell us how many viable eggs they got, I'll feel a little better.  I'll feel even more at ease when we get the call Saturday telling us our fertilization results.

So many hurdles left to jump, even though this is the first big one that sets things in motion.  It's daunting and so tempting to get ahead of ourselves but we're both making an effort to take it one day at a time so it's not so overwhelming.

Another migraine coming on now and then acupuncture so a restful afternoon and evening are in store.
