Retrieval

Quick update:
On Sunday I had an ultrasound and bloodwork. Follicle growth slowed down, but my estrogen level went up indicating 1) I had not ovulated and 2) the follicles were growing. The nurse called and told me to take my hcg shot to trigger ovulation on Sunday night.

The hcg shot is a long needle in my backside. It went well, thankfully. I am going in tomorrow morning for egg retrieval. I am nervous about the pain and the potential for bad news. I feel like I may have already ovulated thus rendering this cycle an absolute bust. I won't know if I have ovulated until after I come out of the anesthesia after retrieval.
