The IVF process - Days 13 thru 17

Well, a lot has happened since my last post. I had two ultrasound appointments this week - one on Wednesday and one today (Friday). On Wed, my doctor was very happy with the size of my follicles. In fact, he said they were growing much faster than he anticipated. They decided to lower my hMG/FSH shots to 150 iu in the morning and 75 iu in the evening. My second appointment was this morning and to my surprise, it seems like they are considering pushing up my egg retrieval. My IVF calendar has that scheduled for next Thursday, however, since one follicle is ready and several more are very close, it looks as though I'll be heading in for that by Monday or Tuesday. I'm still waiting on the phone call with their decision. 

Even though I'm feeling a little anxious about everything, I'm super excited everything is ahead of schedule. Playing the waiting game sucks and it gets harder as the month goes by. If we do the egg retrieval early next week, it is likely that my implantation could happen a couple days sooner, as well. YAY!
