Scans, scans and more scans!

So where are things at now?

Well this week I've had three scans to check and see how my follicles are developing (follicles are the tiny sacs of fluid that holds the egg).

My first scan on Monday showed that I had a couple of follicles, the second scan on Wednesday showed that I had about 4 (8 is the number they were aiming for) so they increased my Puregon (the drug that encourages follicle growth) and also put me on Cetrotide injections to stop me ovulating.

I went back today (7am! ekk LOL) for another scan and it showed I've got 7 to 8 good sized follicles and a few more that are still growing so I am staying on the Puregon and Cetrotide until Monday to give those last few follies a chance to grow bigger.

That means I will have been on Cetrotide for 6 days, the injections cost $105 each and I was lucky enough that the specialist had two extra ones at the clinic that she gave me so I only had to pay for 4 for them :)


On Monday I have to call the clinic and find out if I am to give myself the trigger injection on Monday or Tuesday.
If I have the trigger on Monday, than my eggs will be picked up on Wednesday and the embryo will be transferred back into me on Friday
If I have the trigger on Tuesday, than my eggs will be picked up on Thursday and the embryo will be transferred back into me on Saturday


So either way by Saturday I will have an embryo back inside me and hopefully growing **fingers crossed**

Than it's a very long two week wait to find out if I am pregnant of not
