We are so excited to finally be past this part and actually moving on to the next phase. I pretty much sat at work today all day wondering when the nurse would call with my blood levels and what they would be. I was driving myself crazy thinking about it not to mention the few people that kept asking me throughout the day what I found out and I never had any news! :) I had to wait until my appointment at 4:00 to hear anything.
I didn't get the best news at my appointment but I am not letting that get me down. My blood levels didn't quite make it to 1,000 they are at 849. Yesterday they were at 775 so they didn't go up very much. I also only have 3 mature follicles 20, 19 and 18. I have two at 17 and two at 16 and then a lot of other smaller ones. My doctor said that he thinks this is the best I can stim and that if I was ready he was ready. There is a good chance that over the next two days I could have four more follicles that mature and end up with seven which would make me feel a lot better. I had a few at 15 too so anything is possible if my body ever decides to help me out a little more.
Brad has to give me my trigger shot tonight at 10:15 to release my eggs so I will be ready for the Egg Retrieval on Friday. I actually get to go all day tomorrow without taking any shots, then Friday I start back up again. The procedure will be at 8:00am Friday morning and we should have a lot more information after that. We are praying and keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly and we have a little baby at the end of this!

God is faithful. Thank God for his blessings and for being with you through each step of the way. I also want to thank God for blessing me with my friend, Lisa, who is helping me by keeping Jordan tonight and getting him off to school tomorrow so I can be with you guys in the morning. 6:30am, checking into Menorah, ready for the next miraculous stage in the creation of life!
Krista/Brad, I am so proud of you, for all you have endured up to this point. Let's keep pressing on....
I know that good things will come from this. Keep your faith and remember that there are so many people that love you and Brad and that are pulling for this to work!
I Love you!!!
