I need to color my hair and I'd like to take a walk, but I'm tethered to the house because I'm waiting for the Fed Ex delivery person to bring my extra vials of Repronex. I got up early (although the goofy kitten woke me up earlier than I'd wanted to be waked up) to be first at the lab, and I was. It took 2 nurses and much prodding to get my blood (teeny little hidden veins make for lots of fun), and a Dr. I'd never seen before did my ultrasound. It took a little while to get the equipment going, which didn't inspire much confidence, but she seemed to do a thorough, although somewhat slow, job. I have 7 or 8 good-sized (over 15 mm, I think)follies on the right, and 5-6 smaller ones, and those 2 on the left are popping right up there. My E2 was 3116, and it looks like I'll be doing my trigger shot Monday for a Wednesday retrieval, but it could possibly happen on Tuesday. I'll know tomorrow. I think Thursday is my boss's last day, and I don't want to miss that, but I really want to take 2 days off this time, as I felt pretty bad for 2 days last time.

Had weird dreams about retrieval last night! I dreamed that my mother was there, and I wondered how she'd found out, because I didn't tell her about it this time. She was excited, though. I also dreamed I was being pushed around on my hospital bed (either that or it had a motor), and I was going around the room, where there were other women, including a girl I used to go to church and school with. She apparently had infertility problems in my dream, although she has a couple of kids in real life. Anyway, my bed ran into the chair she was in, which was like a dentist's chair. THEN, they gave me medication (some kind of light anesthesia), but sent me home to come back later. I was waiting and waiting for them to call, but they didn't and all of a sudden, I looked at the clock and it was 3:35 and I realized I should've been back by 3. I had my DH call to make sure I could still come back, and they said I could, but I'd have to have more medication. Apparently, I'm on plenty already! I often have very vivid dreams, but I think they've been weirder since I started this IVF round. When I was just on the lupron, I dreamed that DH could turn into a fish at will, kind of like Mr. Limpet, I guess. I also dreamed that he had my eggs and had put them into one of his testing vials (for his real fish room that's in our basement), but there were crickets in it and I knew the eggs were ruined. I hope I dream about something a bit more normal tonight.
