One more appointment before 2nd scheduled egg retrieval

This picture was taken the day before our 1st egg retrieval that ended up getting canceled. Kevin took me to a Spur's game to make it a nice little get away weekend, not just a weekend about in-vitro.
We just got back from San Antonio yesterday and I have another appointment on Monday the 18th. It will be my last ultrasound and blood work appointment. They will then tell me what day my retrieval will be. It's guessed it will be this Wed or Thur, April 20th or 21st. So far, I have 22 follicles. Not every follicle has an egg, but my friend told me the rule of thumb is how ever many follicles you have, 1/2 might be eggs. So, I'm hoping for at least 10 eggs. Since I ovulated on my own last time, they have me on HIGH doses of everything this month. Surprisingly, I have not been the bear I thought I would be. Kevin is still being such a great partner and my main supporter in all this. Even though he can't be at every appointment in San Antonio, he calls me constantly to make sure I made it safely and asks how the appointment went. Thank you for continuing to keep us in your prayers.

2nd cycle of in-vitro almost complete

We started the process all over again. I'm on my 6th day of injections. I'm at 2 a day now. I'm starting to get the little bruises all over my poor tummy again. I guess I need to switch to my legs today. Anyhow, I've been to San Antonio 3 times in a week so far. I go back tomorrow, Saturday, then possibly one more time next week before we do the 2nd attempt for the egg retrieval. Our expected egg retrieval date is somewhere from April 18th - April 22nd. THEN, we go back 3 days after the retrieval to place the embryo's inside to hopefully attach and become little babies. That's even I don't ovulate on my own again and hoping that I even have good eggs. I know...I know...I sound so negative. I guess it's a little hard not to be negative. But, I can tell you that this cycle has been less stressful because I have something else on my mind. Kevin and I are going to the British Virgin Islands in June to sail the Islands for 5 days. We are so excited and it's all I can think about so it's not as stressful on me this time. Thank you for all your prayers and wishes. I'll continue to keep everyone posted.
