went back to the doc's again this morning for another sonogram (i've been calling them ultrasounds, she said sonogram this a.m.... not sure what the difference is and don't have time/energy to google it right now). anyway, she could tell that the one follicle in my right ovary is definitely ready to go. this data agreed with my ovulation monitor, which gave me a "high fertility" signal this morning, indicating that ovulation would probably happen tomorrow. so tonight i will give myself the hcg "trigger" shot (to make sure that i definitely ovulate tonight, and tomorrow is the1st big day... i can't help but feel a little excited.
the only thing that i'm slightly disappointed about is that i only have the one follicle so far, which means only one egg. i was hoping with all of these injections i'd have more, to increase our chances, but that's why (as i learned today) they do more than one insemination per cycle! they don't want to miss this first egg, which is why we're doing one tomorrow, but there is at least one other one that she says might be ready by friday... so chances are i will go back friday morning for another insemination. the doc said they nearly always do two inseminations per cycle (sometimes three, and sometimes only one, depending on follicles and hormones).
the hubby and i have the plan for the morning all worked out, and he's going to come with me for the procedure (which i'm happy about). hopefully all goes smoothly...
