question 5, day 7

so i went out to the far away location today, had my bloods and sono done. seems like my body is responding well, i think its questionable whether its responding too well. they told me this morning that they might want to change my trigger from an hcg to Lupron. once i relayed this info to lovedove, she jumped on the new laptop and said that she thinks the reason why they would do that (because they didnt say anything more than they might decide to change it) is to prevent ohss. so it may just be a precautionary thing, or they might actually be a bit concerned that i might be over responding. my dr did the sono this morning so i felt kind of reassured that he's up to date on the details of my progress. he's such a nice doctor, im so glad we like him as much as we do. so it seems that so far on the left, he measured 5 follies on the right(bad side with the endometriomas) and he measured at least 10 follies on the left, and then said that there were multiple smaller follies in addition to those on the left as well. so we'll see, he predicted a few more days of injections and also said i might have to go back tomorrow. clearly not what id like to do with my sunday morning, but im like a slave to that place. i dont care what they tell me to do, ill do it.

on a somewhat sad note, today is almost definitely my last basketball game of the season, we have to win today to make it to the playoffs(we won i drafted this part prior to the game), and i may either have already had my retrieval or maybe ill be having it that day. saturday would actually be my preferred day if i had any say in the whole thing (which i clearly dont lol) because lovedove will still be here and will actually be able to come with me. thurs and fri dont work for her due to obligations at her job and on sunday morning she's gone. so its not looking good for us to be together at the retrieval. obviously not the way we want it to go, but just one of those things that we have absolutely no control over. i try not to stress over things i have no control over.
