So tired

What a week it's been. My response to this protocol has been great! As of my u/s this morning, I have 9 follies, but 5 of them are of the right size and will be retrieved. I have to wait for the phone call this afternoon, but most likely we'll be triggering tonight and then have the retrieval on Sunday morning. You have no idea how excited I am. Every time I get a good news phone call from the nurse, I do a little dance and have this great big grin on my face.

The hormones have been good to me this time. I haven't been moody or irritable, except for today, just a bit, but only because I am so tired. Three days in one week of getting up at 5:00 or just before 5:00 is taking its toll on me. I am really looking forward to sleeping in on Monday. I won't have to take any shots that morning, so I won't have to be up early.

You know what's been really weird, and I apologize in advance for the TMI, but I have been getting up almost every night since I've started the stims to pee. I rarely have to do this, but this week it's been consistent. Perhaps my swollen ovaries are pushing on my bladder? I'm not sure.

The one thing I forgot to ask today but I'm sure it'll be fine until Sunday's retrieval is for the nurse to mark on my hips where we'll give the PIO shots. I want to make sure we're doing it in the right area. The nurse did give me some needles that I didn't receive with my pregnyl for the trigger and booster shots. They want those done IM, and the only long needles I have are 22 gauge. She gave me 27 gauge, 1 1/4", so that'll be easier to do.

While Hubby and I are very excited about the upcoming retrieval, it did cause us to cancel some plans we had for Sunday. He was to be present at the baby presentation at church for one of his employee's. I was supposed to be the greeter at church. But I'm totally okay with not doing this and doing the retrieval instead. I think God will forgive me.
