A Quickie Update Before Bed

Today was long.

We started out with a check on my wife's progress. Since the last check two days ago she's gone from about half a dozen sizable follicles to about a dozen. She's really jazzed about that. Her estrogen was still a little low, so she's done one more day of stimulation. Tomorrow we go in for what will likely be our last check before giving the trigger shot. If that's the case - well - I'm too tired to do the math but i believe we'd be doing the embryo transfer early next week. I'm on ejaculation restriction now, saving up for the egg retrieval.

Since this was an extra day of stimulation, we didn't have enough medication. We anticipated that and the clinic put in an order from a mail-order pharmacy that has good prices. It was to arrive today FedEx express, but since we were driving in for the checkup in the morning we wouldn't be there to sign for it. We told the nurse and she specified afternoon delivery when she placed the order. Of course, FedEx got the package to their local depot in time to send out for morning delivery, and did just that. We got to Secret Headquarters and found a note saying they would try to deliver it in the evening. Try. My wife called FedEx and had the operator relay to the local depot that we needed it delivered by 5. The driver said he would do it. 5:30 rolled around and we got a bit anxious. I headed around the building to see if he was picking up from the drop-off box and half-way there I heard my wife yell to me. I ran back and there he was. Big relief.

So now we need to go in again - another day lost at HQ, but this time we arranged to give an employee a key so they can do some work while we're out. This is all so disruptive - it better be worth it.

Gotta get up in like five hours. Good night!
