Yesterday morning’s ultrasound was long and uncomfortable, but revealed that both ovaries are responding well to the meds. They suspected tonight will be trigger shot and Thursday retrieval day.
They suspected wrong. After this morning’s ultrasound, which seemed super annoying and inconvenient for the ultrasound tech, and blood work, where the phlebotomist told me my veins suck, they called this afternoon with results that halted that plan.
My estrogen is too high to use the prescribed HcG trigger shot, which would have to be taken 36 hours prior to egg retrieval. The pharmacy has to overnight Lupron, which I read has REAL FUN side effects. I’m at risk for OHSS, so instead of triggering tonight and chilling tomorrow and retrieval day Thursday, NOW the plan is ultrasound and bloodwork tomorrow morning in Branford (would rather drive the extra 20 minutes, the tech there is extremely pleasant), trigger tomorrow night with Lupron, chill Thursday, retrieval Friday.
It was all going so smoothly, and this journey has been chock-full of bumps.
