Day 6 of stims...

So, I had my second ultrasound this morning. Last night, we added in the third injection, Ganirelix, which prevents me from ovulating prematurely. My poor little ovaries are definitely swollen and I am feeling a LOT of pressure, even when sitting. The scan showed around 15 follicles, several were measuring between 12-15mm. The nurse told me to continue the shots for the next two nights and I am an appointment for the final ultrasound check on Sunday morning bright and early. If everything looks good, I will take the trigger shot that day, and my egg retrieval will probably be Tuesday morning. Since it's a 4 hour drive, me, mom and Libby will drive down tomorrow night and spend the night in Jacksonville. Brad and I will make the trip again on Monday night since Tuesday morning will probably be REALLY early! If everything progresses as planned, my embryo transfer will be next Saturday or Sunday. I would REALLY love to be able to do a day 5 transfer. All of the studies that I have read really support the day 5 blastocyst transfer. So, I am praying that my little follicles/eggs/embryo's cooperate!
