Still waiting...

Still four follicles. The doctor today called them "pretty" and assured me that 4 is ok. I felt better. I also finally have the trigger shot almost in my possession. It didn't come with all the other drugs in the mail order, something about hcg being a controlled substance in NY and the doctor had to send a hard coy of the rx instead of a fax, but either no one told me or the doctor that or else they told me and I had no clue what they meant and just didn't realize it wasn't there. But I looked on Sunday night in my big box of drugs and no, not there. Mild panic. The did overnight the hard copy, but the mail order pharmacy still hasn't processed it, and I might need it tonight (though I'm thinking it will be tomorrow...because I'm such an expert in this...) so we had to go to plan B which was call it into a local pharmacy, local being a relative term in that the only one that stocked it is a 45 minute drive from here. My husband is picking it up there this afternoon.

Stress is getting to me. The logistics of the whole process. I don't think it would be bad it this were summer or I weren't a teacher but this is stressful. And of course the kids in my morning classes are asking where I've been, and I'm just saying that I have to have a minor surgery on Friday (which might be Saturday) and I have some doctor's appointments I need to go to in the mornings. Then of course they ask what for, and I just imply that it's none of their business, and then they look guilty, and we move on.

Still waiting.

This sounds like no fun. Just keep in mind the end result and hang in there.

The logistics of it all was why I eventually just threw my hands up in the air and basically told everyone I was doing IVF - but I also wasn't working with kids. What a pain for you. Hope you get to take that trigger shot. I was so paranoid about making sure I did it on time that I was convinced all of our clocks were wrong.

"Pretty" sounds beautiful!

It is HARD!!! I've had to do the "HCG" run many many times (including in the middle of a blizzard!!). Four follicles is FINE. My cycle that worked with Baby Girl, I had 6 eggs, 2 fertilized, 2 beautiful embryos transferred. All it takes is 1. Seriously. I'm living proof!!!
