No more shots!!

I went into my Re's office on Friday for bloodwork and an ultrasound. They found 11 mature follicles on my left side and my right side had a lot of follicles that were close to being mature (between 14 and 16). The nurse said that I already had 11 mature follicles but since i had so many that were close to be usable that they really wanted me to go another night on just menopur and lupron. She said that they wanted to be greedy and I did too. I went back on Saturday for another ultrasound and bloodwork. The technician was doing my ultrasound while the RE was sitting in. She started to say numbers 17, 19, 19, 20, 19, 18..then she looked at my RE and said, this is her right side. That one more night is what i needed to have mature follicles on both sides! They were very content with my numbers but since i have so many mature follicles, I will most certainly have mild OHSS. They gave me a prescription (dostinex) to fill that I will start taking the night of my retrieval that said that i must drink water, Gatorade and eat sodium. I have to drink all day and I can't stop until my blood pregnancy test. I am set to have my egg retrieval on Monday morning and i must arrive at the hospital at 7:15. I had to do my trigger shot last night (Saturday) at 8:45, this is very crucially timed. And now i wait. My RE said he would give me an egg count after my procedure on Monday and that the embryologist will give me a call the next day with updates on my eggs. I am set to have a 5 day transfer, if all goes as planned. It is time. I am nervous about the procedure tomorrow. I am very glad that i will have anesthesia but i am nervous about the process. They said that it goes really quick and that as soon as I'm under, it feels like i wake up. I have endured all of the shots and now there is just one more thing before i can relax, have my transfer and wait my two weeks. Baby Dust.
