Triggered!

Things looked great at my appointment today, my E2 rose nicely so I went ahead and triggered at 9:30 tonight for an egg retrieval 8:30 Sunday morning. I am so excited it's actually happening! B had big plans tonight with a friend from out of town so I gave myself my own trigger shot. I am so proud of myself. I thought it would be a lot harder since it was IM and in my butt but it was easy and surprisingly painless despite the bigger needle. Hope all you ladies have a great weekend!

    Wonderful news! Sunday will be here so soon and you will be moving right ahead. March has been a great month for me so far, and I'll send you lots of luck.

    My only suggestion for the egg retrieval is to make sure that you have a heating pad at home. The heat really helped me after the procedure.

    Good luck!

    congrats!!! you're on your way! and major kudos on giving yourself the shot! i'm such a wimp about that stuff. i even have a friend who is a dental hygienist (gives shots on a regular basis) on call to help me with shots, in case DH is out of town. :)

    Happy ICLW - wishing you every luck for Sunday - I don't know if this will help but I was always a low responder on IVF. I will never the shock of my first stim scan which revealed 2, yep 2 follies. Pathetic. I was sure the cycle would be cancelled and couldn't see my journey home for the tears. It didn't and I got to 4 eggs - but it was quality not quantity as one of those little eggs made my beautiful daughter. Hang in there - you never know what can happen, and sometimes it isn't all bad - love, luck and strength xxxxxx

    Exciting!

    I can't believe you were able to do the butt shot by yourself. I'm nervous about trying to do that to myself next week.

    Woo-hoo, I'm so excited for you! I'm so impressed you were able to do the IM injection by yourself! Can't wait to hear how the ER goes! We have been through this together now and I am claiming good reports and great news for both of us!!!

    wow they made you do the hcg intramuscularly? I am able to do my HCG triggers in my belly subcutaneously just like my other shots. Glad you made it to trigger though and impressed that you did the IM shot yourself! Will be thinking of you tomorrow morning

    Best of luck for Sunday, and thanks for your comment on my post today!

    I wonder why some docs let you do the HCG SQ and other push the IM? Do you think there is any difference in the result?
