Ultrasound and Blood Work

Well this morning I went in for blood work to check my progesterone levels.  I checked in and specifically asked if I needed an ultrasound also, of course they said no just blood work.  I headed in to work after the blood work and wouldn't you know that I get a phone call around 1045 stating I missed my ultrasound appointment... talk about a break down!  I was so frustrated, so I had to go all the way back to the office, of course they felt really bad and were extremely apologetic but it was so frustrating!  Sandy did my ultrasound again today and we are crusing right along!  Follicles are measuring `7-21 and most of the 17 from yesterday were 19 today, which is great.  Each ovary has about 10 follicles a piece which is a great number.  A little news that has me a little concerned is Lacy's last ultrasound showed some fluid on her uterus.  She will come in Friday for an ultrasound at Dr. Allon's office... if there is still fluid they will have to possibly drain and keep a close eye.  If it continues we will have to freeze the embryos and wait until her uterus is perfect for transfer.  Please pray this is not the case for all of us.  I want everything to be a smooth as possible for Lacy and for us.  They said my progesterone has leveled out, it is elevated which just means my body is wanting to ovulate.  My estrogen is nearly 7000, which could explain me wanting to cry at everything... Suprisingly it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be.  The injections have been fairly easy until last night and tonight.  I am so huge and uncomfortable.. hence why I would not be a good oven!  Hah!  I will say that if all it took was me saying make me big and uncomfortable to be able to carry I would in a heart beat!  The injections hurt for the first time last night and again tonight.  Tomorrow I will take the trigger shot and a lupron shot.  These shots will cause the follicles to let the eggs flow freely inside so they are able to retrieve them.  Saturday is still the date!   I told Thomas tonight that I didn't think I could do the shots in my hip and I wanted him to do it for me.. He said babe I will do anything for you but I cannot do that knowing it is going to hurt.  Well thank goodness my BFF is a nurse, Heidi Ann.. after 18 years and her poking my finger and giving me shots she said she would be happy to do it for me.  She is also going to go with me to my ultrasound appointment with me in the morning.  I love Thomas going with me, however I have to remind him the ultrasound probe is not a microphone, and the probe covers are not condoms!  HAHAH!  He keeps me laughing through it all and no matter what he stays positive!  He is my absolute sanity, even though sometimes he is the one driving me insane!!    Sandy told me I would probably be really sore after retrieval with the amount of follicles they will have to do multiple punctures to retrieve them all.  I have to say everything has been so smooth, I am anticipating something to happen.  I am really trying not too get negative, I have to know that this has been in God's hands since day one.. before we even started this journey.  What is in his plans will be.  Hopefully I am able to get comfortable tonight and sleep.. last night was no fun!  So many people have asked for photos of my football tummy so here it goes!!

My uterus.. which looks great but won't be needing

These are two of the biggest ones, one measured 21 and one 22.. She said they actually might be bigger but because I don't have much room my ovaries are butted up next to each other.. squishing the follicles making them look longer and skinny.

Closest thing I will have to a baby bump!

Last night for these three!!
