This morning I had my 3rd monitoring appointment. My ultrasound showed that I had quite a few eggs that were already mature and several smaller ones that weren't quite there yet. After seeing the progress my eggs were making, I assumed the nurse would tell me that egg retrieval would be Thursday. When she unexpectedly told me that she thought egg retrieval would be Friday, I almost started crying. I just didn't want to think about an extra day of discomfort and an extra day at work. After I finished talking to the nurse, I scheduled my next appointment for Wednesday and headed to work.
I had finally gotten used to the idea of egg retrieval being on Thursday when the nurse called me on my cell phone while I was at work. Apparently, the doctor had decided that I needed to lower the dose of one of my medications and come in for an appointment tomorrow. She also mentioned that egg retrieval would likely be on Thursday. I'm still not sure what caused the change in plans. Either my estrogen levels were too high for them to continue to pump me full of meds or the doctor decided that my eggs didn't need that much time. I didn't get a chance to ask many questions because today was one of the more chaotic days at work and I couldn't find a private place to take a call. I guess I'll find out more tomorrow.
Since I'll probably be posting another update tomorrow, I'll keep this post short. Thanks for reading!
