The Trigger Shot

It's really amazing how they have all the timing of everything down to exact hours.  I've been injecting the Cetrotide for 4 days to prevent my body from naturally ovulating.  Now, the doctors want me to ovulate so they can retrieve the eggs.  They time this out to the minute!  

My egg retrieval is scheduled for 10:15 Monday morning.  This means I give my trigger shot at 10:15 Saturday night because ovulation occurs 36 hours after the injection.  There is no wiggle room with this one like the other medications where you could be an hour off and it wouldn't make a big difference. 

I am spending the night at Teresa's house because our husbands are out of town on a job together and neither of us like being home alone!

The lupron was the worst one because it's so much medication to inject!  Basically the whole syringe was full so it took a good 20 seconds or so to push it in.  But now I'm triggered!

I will go in for bloodwork tomorrow morning before church to make sure the injections worked and then surgery Monday at 10:15!
