Cycle Day 11 - July 18, 2009

Looks like today might be my last day for shots... Woo hoo... I will find out tomorrow when I return yet again for another blood test and ultrasound. Based on today's result, I have 6 pretty good sized follicles and 1 smaller one. In each follicle there is potentially 1 egg. Sometimes follicles are empty or contain immature eggs. The larger the follicle, the more likely the chance of a mature egg. However, follicles that are too big have potentially faulty eggs...

I'm excited to see that I potentially have 6 eggs this time. If the doctor gives us the go ahead tomorrow, that will mean egg harvesting and fertilization will take place on Tuesday.

I had a great day today aside from my latest 3 mosquito bites. I got them this morning when I was adding grass seed to my front lawn. 3 bites in 10 minutes! My sprinkler is acting funny too. It gets stuck in one position every so often. I paid $40 for my sprinkler last year! I figured that a more expensive sprinkler would last longer... guess not.

Also visited the dentist to get my next 2 sets of Invisalign liners. The dentist also added 4 hooks for 2 elastics. The elastics are a pain to put in. In fact, one of the hooks fell off when I brushed my teeth so I'll have to go in soon to get it replaced.

We went out for dinner again and took Tiger for a walk at Stanley Park. Now it's time to work on my cross stitch projects.
