The Little Ovary That Could...

What a weekend.

Friday's scan showed that my follie grew! It was about 21 mm (CD 23) and I got another positive on my OPK that morning. So after running downtown for my scan...then to work...then home again... I talked to my nurse that afternoon and they wanted me to trigger that night.

Apparently there are only 2 pharmacies in Chicago that carry the trigger shot on their shelves. They are both downtown. So back into the city I went on Friday - during rush hour - on NA / TO weekend - with my Dad driving me. I was nervous about the road closures, protestors, etc. Nothing like starting out your weekend having your Dad drive you to pick up your fertility meds and having your Mom inject them in you, right?

So with my husband's crazy work schedule with all the protestors in the city things were a little stressful but we squeezed in an IUI Saturday morning. All went well.

About ten days ago I thought I was out for this cycle. That "little ovary that could" worked its magic and here I am starting my two week torture wait. Fingers crossed!

  11. Yay! Go ovary! So annoying that a pharmacy closer to you doesn't carry the trigger shot. I'm laughing that your dad drove you and your mom injected you--once you get over the embarrassment aspect, it's pretty sweet!

    Good luck!

    1. Its actually going by so fast. Super busy with work and the end of the school year stuff. No symptoms though, so I don't feel too confident (I usually have symptoms by now)...I guess we will see this weekend for sure.
