Follicles/Eggs are starting to grow!

I had the first ultrasound check this morning to see the follicle growth process. Doc said everything looks great for the first check. Doc could see about 8-10 follicles in one ovary and about 6 in the other ovary. The next 2 checks will be to see how they are growing and when they are ready for retrieval. From my recollection of the first 2 times (3 years ago in 2007); there were even more eggs retrieved than were seen on the ultrasounds. We just need one good egg that turns into one good embryo that attaches itself to form a viable pregnancy.

The shots are going well. The second one in the evening kind of stings a little bit, but other than that they don’t hurt at all.

Next ultrasound check is on Thursday. I’ll post another update then.
