Getting closer to having a clue

I feel bad about being such a spaz through this whole thing.  If we go back to Saturday, I got a sonographer that finally measured my follicles and they were all pretty much sitting right around 10.  My right side is a slow poke and had a little smaller follicles at 7 and 8 while my right had a few at 10 and 11.  She also found my missing follicles.  If they were missing at all.  I thought they were but I have learned that I know nothing.  Count on Saturday was 33 follicles with a "you have plenty" comment.  Haha!  Understatement?  My antral count was 42 so they're really not surprised.

Skip ahead to this week.  E2 jumped to 1628 yesterday with 5 follicles classified as 'large'.  I still have not a clue but I've decided not to fight the system that seems to be working for me.  Today, e2 is at 1880 with 8 'large' follicles.  I'm going to count that as a good sign since the doc told me I was almost there.  So I get my follow up call this afternoon and they are doubling my gonal f dose (to 150iu) I'm assuming as a last kick to my follicles.  Grow follicles!  Grow!  So hubby was pestering me about finding out dates since he'll also be going in for his operation the same day as ER (assuming our frozen swimmers don't survive).  So I called - also to find out when we should order my lupron since I didn't have the trigger meds yet.  Turns out I'm doing better than I thought and they're guessing trigger will be tomorrow or Thursday.  Holy cow!!!  I am extremely excited because 1. I'm starting to get uncomfortable with the 33 follicles fighting for space 2. I'm beyond tired of poking myself with needles several times a day 3. I'm so ready to get to the baby making part (I'm extremely worried, but ready).  So, I go back in again tomorrow morning to see how things are going and I'll be triggering soon with HCG instead of the originally planned Lupron.  Apparently, my e2 has been steady enough that they're not concerned triggering me with HCG.  Oh man am I scared of that needle in the bum but, if it means I get to stop injections, bring it on.
