IVF 6: Day 12

The good news is that we're very likely triggering tonight. Largest follicle measured at 26. The bad news is we're not out of the woods yet regarding coming in on Saturday. The reason is because, depending on my E2 levels, they may decide to trigger me with Lupron instead of HCG to prevent OHSS. I'm already feeling bloated and nauseous; I don't want to add any more and OHSS sounds like a nightmare. I gained 2 lbs in two days and I know it's not because of what I ate.

While we wait for results, I'm trying to figure out how to get a ride to the clinic. I've had two friends already offer, which is very sweet, but I can't accept a ride from someone who is Jewish, even if they are not observant and would likely be driving anyway. I have a few non-Jewish acquaintances but no one that I can rely on unquestionably. I don't want to have to stay in the hotel next door all Shabbat just for a 10 min bloodwork appointment. That would really suck.


Beside for arranging for a ride, if I do need to do a Lupron shot, I have to run to the specialty pharmacy to pick it up before Shabbat. I also have to work late today to get everything ready for a Monday event I'll be missing. I also have to shop and cook for Shabbat.
