Baby Steps

Scott and I went back to the Dr this morning to see if I had any growth since Friday. When we pulled into the parking lot there were alot of cars and Scott and I both looked at each other. Having been up here on a weekend before we know lots of cars means lots of wait time. I went back and had blood drawn and on my way to the lab I passed the retrieval room and there were already 2 girls in there...in my head I was thinking how in the heck are they ready for retrieval so fast. Karen called us back a little while later and the ultrasound was promising. My follicles had grown up to 14mm (where they should have been on Friday) but she said I needed another day if not 2 more days of medicine...problem, I was out of meds. She had some of the meds I needed there and a friend that had done an IVF cycle previously was nice enough to give me what I didn't have (prayer answered!) Karen called later this morning and said that my Estrogen levels had risen nicely and that I was starting to show some sign of progress and that she thought we would be okay after all that I was just getting a later start than most. She said it might be Wednesday or Thursday next week before we did the retrieval and that was just fine. I go back in the morning to make sure that these borrowed meds get me to where I need to be. Thanks for all the prayers...they are working, keep them up!
