Woot! My estrogen is 1089, follicles on right are: 20, 20, 19, 16, 12, 12, 10, 10 and left are: 20, 18, 16. Clearly Righty is an overachiever and Lefty is the underachiever. I'm triggering tonight for 9am retrieval appointment on Saturday. Â I'm excited but getting nervous now!
Update: Out of 8 retrieved, only 3 had eggs in them. Trying to be hopeful but I'm really disappointed. We're doing ICSI so hopefully that boosts our chances. We'll get the fert report tomorrow sometime and should know if we're doing 3 or 5 day transfer then too.
The actual procedure was no big deal and I feel totally fine except that I'm exhausted. off to take a nap.
Wooo! Take care of yourself and good luck! Make sure you're starting the high protein high salt diet soon!
Tell me more about this! They said lots of water and salt, but also high protein? Anything else?
That's about it, really. When it was obvious that I was really overstimming (which was the day before my bfp), I was told to cut the water and stick to high sodium sources for my fluids (Gatorade/Powerade, broth, v8). And yes, protein, to build strength in your capillaries in your ovaries so hopefully they will leak less.

Thanks, I need to add Gatorade or Powerade to the grocery list. I'm doing a Lupron trigger, which from what I read means that there's a lot smaller chance for OHSS, but still will do what I can to avoid that chance.
Retrieval Saturday morning. Then I think I'll get the fertilization report on Sunday. If it's a 3-day transfer, it'll be tuesday, or more likely it'll be a 5-day transfer, which would be Thursday. Beta at the very end of January or start of February. I'll be on a bunch of things for luteal phase support, but no more shots! Hooray!

Praying you get 3 really strong embryos and one leads to a successful BFP! I'm holding out hope for you! Hang in there and get lots of rest this weekend! So many ((hugs))!
