Well I just got back from my follicle check.
My data:
Lining – 11.4
Follicle count (big ones these are around 14) – 15
Small follicle count (less then 10) – 13
The three that I had that were larger are now back in line with the other ones. So that is good!
I will go back on Monday and the doctor said I may trigger either Monday or Tuesday. That would put my retrieval at Wednesday or Thursday. I am still hoping for Thursday.
Everything looks good and I am waiting on word from my RE as to my next set of instructions. I imagine it will be that I am continuing with the Repronex at 150 IU. When we actually have the egg retrieval I may get more eggs. The reason being is it is hard to see something that is 3 dimensional on a 2 dimensional machine. So I could end up with more eggs.
I will update more Monday. I will also see if I can take a picture of my peppers and tomatoes soon!

We’re keeping our fingers crossed for lots of eggs, good fertilization, and lovely looking blastocysts. It would be nice for you to be able to time your retrieval to Christopher’s, Alexander’s, and Emily’s delivery. I am sure that they are up there looking out for you guys and all of the future kiddos.
The tomatos and peppers looked great last time you posted pics of them; my first early girl (well, not so early, at least in the NICU scheme of things!) is ripening as we speak and should make a good salad late next week.
And in terms of the ICN: great place to visit but I never want to stand vigil by another isolette if I can help it. And I am wishing the same for you guys (even more imminently, since we are still on hold until next year some time, I think, for kid no. 2—we want to make sure that Hallie is ok, has all of the kinks worked out in terms of her respiratory system and eating, etc before we begin this adventure again).
Say hi to Tony for us.
You are always in our thoughts and prayers.
