I had my follicle scan today and am happy to report that it went well. The first thing I noticed on the scan was lots of good follicles, at first it made me and the specialist a bit nervous about overstimulation, but it turned out well. I have around 18 follicles in total...a lot, but he is only expecting around 10-14 eggs which is pretty much textbook perfect. Lining is also looking really good at around 7mm, and again a triple layer pattern.
So only the one scan needed. Egg pick up is scheduled for Wednesday next week. I am to continue with the daily injections & 12 hourly nasal spray until Monday night, then a trigger injection to be given at 2am (!) Tuesday morning. Nil by mouth from 6:30am Wednesday, admission into the day surgery at 12:30pm. The fasting shouldn't be too bad at all - with all my last cycles I had to fast from around 2am so it was hard for me to get through without breakfast. But this time, I will be able to have breakfast early, then basically just skip lunch. Much easier for me. But that 2am needle is going to be fun!
I'm actually feeling quite heavy low down at the moment, and with 18 follicles I still can't shake overstimulation from my mind, but there's not much I can do now but wait and see how we go.
