I am such a wreck! The timing for IVF #2 has been a nightmare in terms of my work schedule and load. Cancellations, rescheduling meetings, missing meetings, delaying projects, showing up unprepared; wow, I really suck at my job right now. I live in one city, work part of the week in another city and travel for IVF to yet another city. I haven't been able to go home since September 23rd. My monitoring appointments have been on the worst days possible for my schedule. For the past week on Mondays and Wednesdays I have had to leave by 6am to make my monitoring appointment, rush out of my appointment and drive 70 miles an hour for two hours only to be late. This morning I gave the completely WRONG set of instructions to a class of university students. But that's okay because I will just have to cancel lectures on Wednesday for the retrieval AND next Monday for the (possible) transfer. And I'm talking about a Monday/Wednesday class here. I don't know what to tell them at this point. Certainly not that I am in the midst of IVF. I think for Wednesday I will just send out an email explaining that I am having a medical procedure and will be out through Monday, with instructions for coursework. That sounds reasonable.
Whew. I need to put my legs up the wall and take some deep breaths. This stress can't be good for my eggs.
Speaking of:
Follicle Count: 10 on the left. That's just the total. I think we're really only working with 5-7 between 14mm and 20mm. The right has just been lackluster this cycle. There were 3 follicles between 10 and 19mm. One sad little bubble only measured 5mm.
As for totals for retrieval--maybe ten at the most? I know what size they should be at trigger but not how small is too small. Is 14mm too small to expect a mature egg? Blah. I'll find out soon enough.
E2: 2,285
P4: 0.5
LH: 0.29
I shoot my last dose of meds tonight and then I trigger at exactly 10:15 for a Wednesday retrieval.
RE wants to have a chat about our embryo number plan for CCS tomorrow. I wonder what that's all about.

Wow -- sounds like you have had a whirlwind journey this go around! Wishing you all the best for Wednesday and enjoy tomorrow -- no injections day!
Busy, Busy, Busy!
Wow, that does sound stressful! You are almost there, though, so just hang on for a couple more days. Fingers crossed that it all goes well for you!
Sending you lots of good thoughts This can be such a stressful time! Hugs to you! Can't wait to hear about ER and ET!!
Yikes! Sorry this cycle has been so hard on you. A cycle without all the scheduling conflicts is difficult enough...throw in a few extra obstacles and that's a pretty good mix for stress. *HUGS*
You are in my prayers for a successful ER and CCS.
Ugh - I'm so sorry this cycle has been such a bear! I really think IVF is a full-time job, and all other things should be neglected for awhile... Yeah, right! :) Fingers crossed for an amazing retrieval!!!
Phew, all of the scheduling nightmares suck, but I'm praying that it will all be worth it!! Hang in there hon!!
I had 2 eggs under 13 mm at trigger, which yielded 2 mature eggs and all fertilized. Your numbers look great so far!
I am sorry about the travelling and work craziness, but I hope at least that will help to pass the time in the waiting. FIngers crossed for a great ER & ET!!!
