Progress Update!

Hi friends!

 Today I had an appointment that confirmed everything was on track and going as planned. My body is responding to the medication exactly how it should be. I have a total of 42 follicles growing. 15 of which are above 10mm. I need at least three to reach 17mm before the retrieval can take place. We are anticipating next Wednesday or so for the retrieval. The follicles are similar to cysts, so you can imagine the discomfort I'm feeling. My belly is very bloated and I'm experiencing quite a bit of discomfort if I move around too much. 

The shots continue to be pretty painful. 

My stomach is bruised up pretty badly from the injections, but I keep reminding myself of the end result and the reason we are doing this. I keep holding onto the faith that this short sacrifice will produce the life changing desire of our hearts. 

Please keep praying for us, and holding on to the faith! I have another appointment Monday morning. I'll post again and hopefully by then, we will have a firm date for the retrieval. 

Here's some pics of my tummy. :(
