More Room in My Heart: Trigger Happy

Trigger Happy

Just a little update...I triggered last night (after watching The Kings Speech and nearly getting lost in the blizzard!) at 10 pm with 2 ovidrel. I've never used ovidrel before...

And, retrieval is tomorrow.

I am still undecided about PGD, day 3 versus day 5 transfer, etc. I figure we'll make a decision after we find out the number of mature eggs and the fertilization report.

Good for the trigger (and what did you think of King's Speech? Wait. Maybe we should start emailing instead of talking on each other's blogs? My email address is serenitynowinfertile at gmail dot com.)

Anyway... sounds like a good plan to wait and see.

Fingers crossed for you tomorrow.

YAY for trigger and best wishes for an excellent retrieval.

I popped over from Justine's blog as she said you were far from home. :( We're all thinking of you.

Now going to go and read your archives! :)
