I had more blood work and another ultrasound this morning. My ovaries are hugely enlarged and pressing against my uterus, which is pressing against my bladder, so that explains why I've been going to the bathroom so frequently, but my small follicles have not continued to develop and my estrogen levels have fallen, so Dr. Lu is ready to go ahead with our IUI!
Earlier today I took another (95 dollar) shot of Ganirelex and tomorrow morning between seven and nine I will take the HCG trigger shot! Then all we have to do is wait until Saturday morning, when Carl will provide a "sample" that we'll bring to the lab to be prepared, and finally we'll go in to the office so I can actually undergo intra-uterine insemination.
Because we waited for so many days for my estrogen levels to begin dropping, some of my follicles are now a little past mature, with the largest being 22 millimeters. I felt a little sad that it probably can't be fertilized, but it is just a single cell, so I haven't been dwelling on it.
