I am doing my first IVF cycle this month and I went into today for my monitoring appointment for my FDA swabs & follie check and other then the fact my cervix was hiding up in my shoulder everything looks great - too great almost. I have follies all over my ovaries (10 are a good size and another 1/2 dozen catching up) and it hurts to sneeze (my allergies are bad). My egg retrieval was scheduled for 4/2 but they don't think I am going to make it that long so I may be triggering on Wednesday with my ER on Friday and I am freaking the he!! out. I can't stop crying. I don't think I am ready for this. I want to be pg so bad every last cell in my body aches but I am so absolutely terrified this won't work.
Wow - that was some serious drama coming out of me. I am so anxious I can't breathe or concentrate on anything, sorry! Just needed to get that off my chest - thanks ladies
And is there anything better in this world better than a chocolate puppy?? Enjoy
