They are still growing....N went to her ultrasound today and the eggs measured as follows: a 12, an 11, a 9, some 8's and 7's....her estrogen level is close to 500...that is up from 167 last week. She goes back for another ultrasound on Thursday. The eggs and estrogen level should start growing faster toward the end.
So, here is the process for those of you that are curious:
At some point (hopefully, sooner than later), they will decide that the eggs are ready and they will tell N to take her trigger injection...this will stimulate the eggs and get them ready for the retrieval. The next day, I will go have an ultrasound to make sure that my uterus is ready. The following day N goes in for the retrieval. At that time the eggs are fertilized and then the "watching" process begins. At any point between 2-5 days, they will call me in for the transplant, 5 days being ideal. They will put in the two strongest eggs. We should know if the process was successful anywhere from 2-4 weeks.
Now this is all in VERY layman terms, but you get the jest of it....
