We just got back from our CD8 blood draw and ultrasound. I have 20 follicles! Everything looks great for a retrieval on Thursday or Friday of this week. The Dr started me on my first injection of ganirelix to prevent premature ovulation and again reduced my folistem down to 75 units. We return tomorrow morning for another blood draw and ultrasound. We'll find out then when the retrieval will be.
Medications for tonight are:
75 units of Folistem (FSH)
75 units of Menopur (FSH & LH)
81 mgs of Asprin
16 mgs of Medrol (steroid hormone to assist pre-embryo implantation)
2.5 mgs of Parlodel (I've been taking this for a month now to lower my prolactin)
20 mgs of Lexapro (I've been taking this for a year to keep me sane and functioning!)
I am feeling great. Thanks so much for all of your support!
(Don't forget that every comment during my ivf cycle is an entry into my giveaway! Thank you!)

Fantastic news... 20 is a great number :)) Rest up plenty before then - I was really surprised how knocked around and exhausted I felt after my retrieval on Friday. This is such a magical time and amazing to see the delicate IVF process form gorgeous little embryos xoxo
