Mega Follicles

WARNING: This post contains WAY too much information about my ovaries, so don't say I didn't warn you...

So my follicles are finally ready to go. It's been 12 days since my first ultrasound. I've been tested pretty much every 3 days since then. At nearly $200 a pop, those ultrasounds aren't cheap, but it's pretty necessary because I'm on my first cycle of injectables. Since there's no precedent, they weren't really sure what dosage of meds works for me, so they kept playing around with my injections until they got it right. As of today, I have one follicle that's at 19mm, one at 17.5mm, one at 15mm, one at 14.5 mm, and 3 at 13mm. Then I have a whole ton that are smaller than 12. Follicles are not considered mature until they are at 17mm, depending on whom you ask. That means that I could possibly have an ovum that might be capable of being fertilized... one or two gross, scary, expensive eggs.
My RE has told me to go ahead and give myself the trigger shot, but since I have so many small follicles I should watch out for signs of Ovarian Hyper-Stimulation.
Symptoms of OHS are massive bloating, water retention, pelvic pain, nausea, and a lot of other disgusting things. Apparently I'm at risk because of the insane quantity of estrogen in my system right now due to the fact that my ovaries have decided to go into over drive this past week.
But, all things considered, I only have 2 that are considered mature so I should be okay. Should be. Cross fingers.
Fertility treatments so far have been better than I thought in a lot of ways- the injections don't really hurt, and they're kind of fun. I don't feel gross like I did with Clomid, aside from being super tired the last few days and kind of puffy. It's cost a lot more than I thought it would, but mostly because the meds are so crazy-expensive. They cost $56/bottle, and I've had to inject myself with up to 4 bottles at a time. I think shooting up Cocaine would cost less, in the long run, and be more fun... hmmm... something to think about in the future? It also stinks that I can't get an appointment during after-school hours, so I've had to schedule a sub to come watch my class for a few hours a day 4 times now. That costs money, too, and doesn't look so hot to my principal. Oh well. Not much I can do about that, except for shop around for a different clinic which I don't want to do because the people at Utah Fertility are AMAZING. They are nice, professional, quick, and apparently one of the top ranked teams in the country (according to them, top 1%). Worth it.
Anyway, between the drugs, the bloating, and the stress it sounds like it's going to be a fun weekend! Wish me luck!
I don't get to take a pregnancy test until 10/4, but if things work out right, maybe baby. Keeping my fingers crossed... and toes... and wishing on stars... and dandelions... and clovers...
