IVF Update 2 & 3

I went in for my second sono/blood work on Friday. I had more follicles and they were growing at a rate of about 2 mm/day which is right on track! They kept my meds the same for that night at 225. I went in again Saturday morning and they had grown 3 mm literally over night! I had been having some sharp pains on my left side and luckily my husband was there and he asked if that was normal. The said it was normal especially since I had been growing so fast. I forget how many follicles I have now but it is over 20 which is just crazy to me. I mean, as I sit here right this minute, they are getting bigger! Weird. My Dr. was actually there on Saturday an I hadn't seen him in a while so it was good to follow up with him. He said I am progressing beautifully but he didn't want me to have too many follicles so he cut my meds back down to 150. No problem! He then said I'll go in again Monday and Wednesday. If I'm ready Wednesday, I'll take the trigger shot that night and the retrieval will be Friday! So crazy. I honestly can't believe we are doing this.
I've been feeling better lately. I'm not AS envious of the preggos walking around. I can look at other babies and not want to cry. For some reason, I really think the Lord has blessed me with some hope and happiness. I feel good and calm and optimistic. Everything else that we've done (the 4 IUIs), I have always felt something inside telling me that it won't work. This is the first time I don't feel that but I'm scared to get too excited. It's really a weird feeling, but I'm just trying to do the best I can.
