Egg Retrieval is here!!!

So first let me tell you that today was a little crazy. The first rule of IVF is DO NOT RUN OUT OF MEDICINE! the medication that I am taking cannot be bought at Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, etc...So I have been checking my medicine everyday like a mother hen with her eggs. So yesterday when I was at the doctor, my nurse told me that if I needed to go another day or two she did have some medicine to float me for tonight and Wednesday. I had told her that I had enough to last me until Tuesday night. So this morning I am getting ready and go pick up my box of Bravelle, it is EMPTY!!! I HAVE to have my morning FSH injection! I cannot mess things up right now when everything is so close! I had already used it and for some reason put an empty box back in the box of medication. I was freaking out, trying not too, because I knew that she had some at the office, but I am suppose to take my medicine at 7 and the office does not open until 8:30 and I am suppose to do a training today at 8:30-Ahhhhh.....
Long story a little shorter I was able to go set up for the training, run to the doctor and get my injection, start the training a little late, do the training until lunch, go back to the doctor at lunch for blood work and ultrasound, and back to finish the training for the rest of the afternoon. Whew! but I did it and everything turned out OK. We got the call this afternoon around 4pm that said everything looks great. I will "trigger" tonight, which means we will have the egg retrieval on Thursday at 10am!!!!
Are you serious!!! It is all happening!! The moment we have been waiting so long for-so many emotions!!
I am so excited and feeling great. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that everything goes well and successful! I will keep you updated as everything happens.
Egg retrieval on July 29 at 10am
