It's Jacko Time!

Just a quick update! I've got a lot to do before tomorrow!

My estrogen went from 1777 to 2700...my retrieval is set for early Saturday morning! Based this morning's ultrasound and labs, they estimate that there will be around 11 mature eggs. They also said that they are pleased because I have responded SO much better than last cycle. Thank you God.

Tonight, I will discontinue all of my other injections and do my HCG trigger shot at 10 p.m. sharp. Click here to see a previous blog entry explaining the importance of this injection.

I have to go back to my Augusta doctor once again tomorrow morning for labs. This is to make sure that my HCG level is sufficient and doing its job. We will hit the road after my appointment so that we can get settled in Charleston.

There will be one little pit stop along the way...well kind of out of the way, but who cares! I'm going to get to meet my niece before I'm on bedrest!

I should be feeling pretty good after my dose of Jacko on Saturday, so I'll post an update once we find out how many were retrieved. We'll be coming back home after surgery this time and waiting for them to call with our fertilization report. Waiting for that call is going to be pretty stressful. After 6 weeks of torturous and expensive medications combined with emotional kicks in the ass, it all comes down to that one call. Please pray for some good embabies this time!
