Jumping for joy is not allowed

I'm happy to report that egg retrieval is officially scheduled for Thursday morning.  I had my last monitoring appointment this morning and my doctor seemed very impressed with my ovaries.:)  She couldn't believe how well I had responded to my injections.  She counted 20+ follicles in there.  Based on those numbers, I definitely have a good reason to be feeling uncomfortable.  She told me to take it easy and not do any jumping or bouncing.  I don't think she needs to worry about that; I've been hobbling around like an old lady for the last couple of days.  

I'm hoping to continue to work through Wednesday, but we'll see how I feel tomorrow.  I did just fine at work today, but I'm currently  lying on my couch in my pajamas and don't intend to move from this location for the rest of the night.  The only thing on my agenda is to get the last of my injections tonight.  It's hard to believe that my doctor still wants my ovaries to get bigger, but I will do whatever I can to ensure I produce good eggs. 

I will probably provide a short update tomorrow because I will have more information about my scheduled procedures.
