Follicle scan today showed 25 follicles 

most measuring 14mm to 17mm 

Another ultrasound a lab is set for tomorrow 

and it is looking like our retrieval will be

Thursday July 16th 2015! 

Feelings: 

So far (knock on wood) I've felt pretty good! 

around day 5 I started using a heating pad which seems 

to be helping quite a bit. 

I would describe the full ovary pain like a runners cramp 

just a constant pain in your side. 

I read somewhere yesterday that 

when your follicles are around 18mm they 

are the size of green grapes... 

So all I can picture now are a bunch of grapes 

hanging out in my pelvis. 

My right side is still the leader with 16 follies! 

I feel good about these numbers. 

I know this is a banking / freeze all cycle 

and I'm doing a pretty good job of not obsessing 

over everything, like how many I have 

how big they are, what the averages are, 

how big their supposed to be..ect.. 

I'm just kind of "going with the flow" 

Day 9 I started to feel a little like I could cry on command. 

or at something as stupid as a tide commercial. 

but I feel like those emotions come and go. 

I definitely don't feel crazy like I did that one time 

I took 250mg of clomid in one month %-O

I'm planning to take Wednesday off work to relax 

before Thursday. 

Then Thursday Scott and I will go in together 

and about an hour later my mom will meet us there. 

The procedure should take about 15-20 minutes 

and then an hour plus in recovery.

After that I will be going to my parents to sleep 

while Scott heads back to work. 

I also took Friday off to just chill and make sure 

my body is fully recovered. 

I will also be taking a medication to prevent OHSS 

Dr. G said before he started using this med, 

he would have 2 or more cases of OHSS a month

now that he has it on bored he hasn't had a case in 2 years!

Science is pretty freaking cool. 

I'll try and update tomorrow too and then 

I'll be back on Thursday or Friday to let you know 

how many eggs were retrieved! :)
