So, Saturday, Mom, me and Libby piled into the car to drive 4 hours to Jacksonville for an early Sunday morning ultrasound. It was a horrible drive, lots of raining and a pile of traffic which made it into a 5 hour drive. Libby was such a trooper...all she wanted was to get to the hotel and go swimming! By the time we finally arrived in Jacksonville, it was still raining...no swimming.
We woke up and went to the appointment...we were a bit late, considering the outside door was locked, we had to wait for a patient who was leaving to open it for us! We were the last to be seen. I was hoping to have good news and take the trigger shot, and plan to return on Tuesday for the retrieval. However, my little follicles have slowed down a bit, and we have about 12 follicles between 12-15. Dr. Lipari wanted me to stim for two more nights to allow some of the smaller follies to "catch up"...Sigh. I have to admit that I was super bummed! I had the whole week planned with a weekend trip to the beach for Libby before our day five transfer this weekend.
I have to remind myself that this WILL be worth it in the end. This second baby is going to be such a miracle and a blessing to our little family. I think all of the hormones and lack of sleep, along with the emotional and physical toll are finally starting to catch up with me. I am tired, cranky, irritable, sick to my stomach, bloated and just plain uncomfortable. I just keep trying to remind myself that this WILL work and this IS going to be worth it! Please God...let this week go by quickly and let this work, PLEASE God...let me get pregnant. Please help me have a healthy pregnancy and baby. PLEASE GOD!
