WOW!!

Well, this morning I went for an ultrasound and blood work.

The good news is: My right ovary has about seven follicles growing. Five were between 16mm-22mm (they consider 'mature' to be more than 16mm). The other two were smaller. So this would be the reason for the extreme pressure on my right side.

The bad news: I have a bum left ovary. No follicles at all. They don't know why - I guess God thought that we were getting too comfortable and wanted to add something to the mix! I am actually kinda relieved because I keep praying that we don't have too many because I don't want a bunch of embryos left over. Maybe this is the answer?

So, in conclusion, since my eggs are already mature basically they are moving the retrieval to Sunday (that's right- Superbowl Sunday). Then the embryo transfer will be Wed. It's kind of exciting but I am nervous at the same time.

I have another ultrasound on Friday. Then, an appointment in Urbana on Saturday morning. We will probably spend the night in Indy on Saturday and be there for the retrieval on Sunday. I'm hoping I will be alert enough to watch the Giants lose!

Peace out,
Kate

Wow, I feel so emotional after reading your Wednesday blog. That's great, everything is moving along quickly. You are doing a wonderful job preparing for the transfer. Let God love you through this. On a side note, the end of your blog was difficult to read - something about the Giants winning?? Here I thought you were pulling for the Patriots...Go figure. Move It Around Linda
