IVF 6: Day 9

Suddenly it's day 9. Monitoring this morning was delightfully uneventful.

I've been so tired it feels like maybe I missed part of this cycle. Maybe the meds are fresh and super potent? Maybe my diet is preventing the meds from getting diluted? I don't know what's causing it but I feel like things are progressing faster this time. I've been feeling sluggish and out of it. At any point today I could have put my head down on my desk and fallen asleep. Part of the exhaustion is that we're short a staff person at work and I've been picking up a lot of slack for that empty position while they interview.

I was a weird sort of exhausted-awake and felt like my eyeballs were too big for their sockets. As I typed this out I realized I've mentioned that symptom before, and lo and behold I sure did. I also found my Tips and Suggestions post I wrote a while back which is also helpful to keep in mind. Sometimes I forget things between cycles and it helps to have it all written out. Maybe when I'm not so tired I'll add more to it.

So day 12 is on Friday. I kind of hope we trigger then so that retrieval can be on Sunday. In the past I've triggered on day 14 but since things are moving slightly faster this time maybe it can happen. I'm kind of ready to get the recovery part started. I know recovery from retrieval will be painful and uncomfortable for a few days and I want it over with. I go back for bloodwork and ultrasound on Thursday.
