The fast track of Egg Donation

......and what seems like in the blink of an eye, everything is ready for egg retrieval.

April also passed that all important 2nd round of testing and her lab work was good, she started stimming meds without difficult and before I knew it...April's ready.

Listen, do you know there's a Hallmark card out there for this? I'm not lying. It's in thier "Journeys" collection. I picked it up for April.

As of today's report, April has 15 follicles that are ready to be plucked. And they plan to do exactly (eggsactly...hahah) that on Saturday-just 2 days from today. She takes a trigger shot tonight of HCG which is the final drug that puts the "glow" on those follicles before they are removed 36 hours later.

I wonder if this has been a stressful week for her? Do you think she was hoping for a certain number of follicles? Do you think she's afraid of disappointing me? Is she hoping and wishing as much as me? I have to think somewhere along the way it's more than a $5000 ordeal for her. I guess in my heart of hearts, I have to believe that or it feels a bit sour. I wonder if she thinks about me at all.....

So now all of the shots are in my court now! I had it real easy these last couple of weeks, but now man the pressure is on! I got my new meds calendar today and I have a bunch of shots tomorrow, then every other day until transfer in about 6 days.

6 days!!! Holy cow!!!
