Went to this morning's ultrasound and the nurse (didn't catch her name) found 4 big ones on the right (11,11,14,15), and 1 little one at 6. On the left she found 2 big ones (15, 16) and another tiny one at 6. I asked her about Wednesday's ultrasound when Nurse Susan found 4 and she said that maybe one more was hiding, or Nurse Susan may have read it wrong. So I don't really know how many follicles I have - it could be 7 or it could be 9. Either way, I know it's not a ton so I'm just praying that when they take them out, they are good quality and we can get 2 or 3 embryos out of it! I'll be taking the drugs all weekend and then go back on Monday. Trigger still looks like it will be either Monday or Tuesday night with retrieval next Wednesday or Thursday.
So my husband is off all next week from work. He took a week unpaid because his company is being a pain in the keister. My husband is a very private person and he didn't want to tell his boss exactly what we are going through. He just told him that I am having a medical procedure done. Well he's got this new boss, he's only reported to him for 2 weeks, but he can't stand him already. He's been dreading the change to this new organization, and his worse fears have come true. His new boss is all over Tony wanting him to travel to Mexico and wherever next week. Well Tony said he's not traveling next week, and so his boss is making him take unpaid leave. Well it's enough to piss off Tony so much that he's considering putting in his notice in a week. He's going to start looking for another job, he says there are alot in his engineering field. I wouldn't be surprised if Tony quits even before having another job. I can put him on my insurance, and we have enough of a nest egg built up that we'll be fine finanically. Tony just doesn't work well with the "good old boy, old school" types in the automotive industry. I think he should just forget the automotive industry and take over his father's barber shop business. His dad wants to retire and it brings in good money, so we'll see. More potential changes on the horizon.

It is too bad that your husband has to take off the whole week, but maybe you could plan some activities for that week??? Since our miscarriage happened in the middle of the work day we both had to come clean to our bosses....things have been easier since they know. Even my husbands evil boss (who turns out had her own IF issues) was understanding.
I'm new to your blog, but just wanted to share a couple of things. I'm currently 1 week away from my beta for my first (and last) IVF cycle. My friend advised me not to get too wrapped up in the day to day numbers of follicles and estrogen levels. Turns out it was the best advice I ever received. During my ultrasounds I simply looked at the ceiling. As long as the doctor, or nurse, was happy, I was happy. Numbers can change from day to day so go easy on yourself, hang on, and enjoy the ride.
