My follicles are growing!

Today we had another ultrasound & got to see how fast the follicles are growing. It's crazy how big they are getting. The nurse counted 20 today & a lot of them were already around 18 in measurement! 

Here is a pic of one of my ovaries:

As you can see, all those round circles is a follicle. Inside that follicle is an egg!!

I can tell they are getting bigger because my ovaries feel very swollen. Sometimes I find myself sitting down like a pregnant lady because it's a little tender. 

The funniest thing happened before they started the exam. I always watch them put the condom thing on the ultrasound wand. Well today, it was already on there when we got in the room. I told Nik to take it off because I want to see them put a fresh one on. He was having a hard time getting it off & was fumbling with it when the non-English speaking nurses came in. We both started laughing. I explained to the nurses that I wanted a new sleeve thing on there. Who knows what they thought he was doing....!

We are still on track to go back again Monday to check the size of these follicles & Wednesday retrieve them. 

I'm feeling a lot better now. My cold is almost all gone now, thank you God! The shots I'm getting in the morning still hurt. The Gonal F shot is so tiny. The other shot is like a dang sewing needle. I just about cry every time Nik has to inject me. The good part is that I only have 2 more days of these shots! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
