Egg Retrieval

I went to the Montgomery office this morning for blood work and ultrasound. The ultrasound showed the endomeatrium lining was thickening and I had 21 follicles. The size of the follicles should be 1.8, I had at least eight that measured that or greater. Janet, the IVF coordinator called this afternoon with my blood work results. She said to discontinue my Follistem/Menopur injections and to take the HCG injection tonight at 9:15. This shot is given IM, thank goodness I have a neighbor who is a nurse and loves me. Thanks Jen!!! The egg retrieval is scheduled for Wednesday, September 2, 2009. Dave will update the blog after the egg retrieval.
