hCG Trigger Shot!

YAY! I am so excited. My E2 went down to 2778 today. That means that I will finally trigger tonight at exactly 10:30 pm. I am to discontinue Lupron, Heparin and baby aspirin until further notice. I am to begin and/or continue on the following:

• hCG 10,000 units once tonight
• Zithromax, once tonight, and then twice a day thereafter (with food)
• folic acid 3mg daily
• dexamethasone 0.75 mg daily
• prenatal vitamins

I am so excited! Did I say that already. Thank you God for making this all work out. If my E2 levels would not have gone down then we would have to have cancelled the entire thing. I pray that my ER (on wednesday) and my ET (5 days later, possibly on monday) will both have great success. I know that there are many and many people that have prayed, that are praying and will be praying for us and I also pray that being a mommy will finally become a dream come true!

So, my egg retrieval (ER) is officially set for wednesday, June 20 at 9:00 am. I am to arrive at 8:15. Instructions are: nothing to eat after midnight the night before. Brushing teeth will be okay. I am to wear absolutely no jewelry and wear comfortable clothes. DH will also need to be there sometime between 9:00 and 11:00 am to give a fresh sample. They are giving him a hard time at work so I don't want him to miss too much time unless he has to.

I have to add that yesterday DH did so well with administering hCG shot to me. I iced it and then he gave it and I didn't even feel it. Good job! That was a great start, so hopefully the PIO shots will go just as smoothly.
