All Systems Go

My RE nurse just called with the results of my morning Stim Check #4 and it looks like a stim check #5 will not be necessary. My follicles have stimulated more quickly than planned and are mature. My E2 has reached 4188 (holy crap!). Looks like my body cannot wait for Thursday for the egg retrieval so it is now scheduled for Wednesday (all quick and dirty dates will need to move up one day).
Will we do a trigger shot tonight at precisely 10:15 to trigger ovulation exactly 36 hours later. The RE must receive the follicles exactly at this stage in order to continue on with fertilization. This shot is different from any we have done therefore Karlis, my dad (who is in town to drive me around in my Lortab induced haze) and myself will drive to my second mom Sue’s house tonight for the shot. It is beyond critical to get it right. If we mess it up we could lose all of the twenty-something follicles my body has produced. In a way I am glad the dates have been moved up because my body feels ready. I know I have never been in this situation before but I am experiencing cramps and pressure like I might be or at any moment ovulating, which is scary. I just hope it is not too late and my body does not begin ovulating on its own; I guess at times there are just some things medicine cannot completely control. If my body has or does ovulate on its own before egg retrieval on Wednesday we will have to start ALL OVER. So even though it has messed up some planning I had previously done regarding work I am thankful the egg retrieval will take place sooner than later. Once again another step we are trying to work through to make it up the IVF ladder.
