Today ends the stimulation hormone. Yes, it's a short four day thing. I honestly forgot about this little phase of the cycle until last week. The menopur (to aid egg-growth and prepare for ovulation) continues for another week(ish).
At any rate, we visit the doctor early this morning before her final follicle-stimulating shot to get accurate readings of the various hormone levels. They will also perform an ultrasound to measure the size and number of potential eggs to gather. Over the next week, Kristina will be poked and prodded quite routinely to determine the perfect timing for the retrieval.
She's an amazing trooper to do this...twice. Then again, as I said at the start of this second cycle, we do everything twice. Still, she's one tough cookie. It's a good thing because those progesterone shots are just around the corner. Neither of us like those.
