I just had my trigger shot.  8 follicles have grown – which is just amazing on such low dosages of medicine.  I’m not comfortable at all – I feel like my ovaries are huge bags of rocks.  My doctor gave me an extra night of stimulation drugs to get a few more to grow and it worked.  Tomorow afternoon we will have our first insemination and then on election day morning we will have the second.  I should ovulate at approximately 9:45am on Tuesday – 36 hours after the trigger shot.  Again, I don’t have a great deal of hope – the odds are something like 8% to 17% that this will work- this was more an exercise in medication experimentation and I’m happy with the results.

I do have to pinch myself when I start daydreaming that maybe, just maybe we’ll get boy/girl twins out of this but that would be like the Mets winning the world series.

Colorado bound?

I think I’ve made my decision.  If this cycle does not work I will have the polyp removed and promptly head to Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine.

Here is the reason why:  http://www.colocrm.com/rates2007.htm

52% success rate.  That is the best rate I have ever seen- and if I am going to do a hail mary (or a few of them) – this is where I am going to do it.  Logistically it is probably going to prove to be a bit of a nightmare – but that is my decision…if they can’t do it then I don’t think anyone can.
