And we are off!

Retrieval is this morning an so, while I intended to write a longer post while waiting, instead I have an IV needle in my hand and a. BP monitor on my right index finger, so I am a bit hampered by that.

There are at least 6 follicles ready to go and estrogen climbed appropriately. I am excited and hopeful, but feel somewhat disconnected emotionally because I don't have the same desperate feeling of want and need. Maybe it's not emotionally disconnected, but just that the emotions are not as heightened thus go round. But I will take that over the panic and fear. I'd realy like ths to work, but I guess am ok if it does not. Whereas last time? Not ok.

Anyhow, more when I have both hands!

  1. Thinking of you this morning and wishing for some plump, ripe follicles! :)

    P.S. It just occurred to me that almost two years ago (in April) we were going through this at the same time! Crazy how that feels like so long ago and yet like yesterday.

  4. Everything is crossed for this. Really hoping for great results. Being a bit relaxed is a blessing, too.

  6. yeee-haa!!

    am selfishly glad to hear that things don't feel so intense this time -- i'm not even ready to think about *whether* to ttc again, but i have been fretting about how i would survive that emotional firestorm while simultaneously carrying for a toddler....

  8. Super exciting! I'm glad the stakes aren't too high emotionally, but of course have everything crossed that this works!
