A swollen mouth and lots of nice eggs...

Aloha!  Well it's CD12 in our household, so my lovely wife dragged my swollen and drugged body to the RE's office for my weekly probing.  Apparently my follies love general anesthesia and lots of hydrocodone because I've produced a couple lovely eggs this time around.  


Here are my stats....


LEFT OVARY:  Decided to "play along this cycle" and grew me a nice 18, 14, and a couple smaller ones.
RIGHT OVARY:  Grew me 2 14's, a couple 12's, and some little guys.


So hopefully we'll get a couple nice juicy eggs by insem day!  I'm supposed to go back in tomorrow to repeat bloodwork to figure out when to take the Ovidrel.  Can't believe we're at this stage again -- this past month has gone so fast!  


I had my wisdom teeth taken out last Friday and that was an experience!  I'm doing OK now, but still pretty sore and swollen.  B has been taking good care of me, and still finds me foxy despite the fact that I look like a chipmunk....ha!  


Pain meds and sleep are calling my name....I'll check in later in the week!  Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

T minus 3 days 'til I lose wisdom...

I get my wisdom teeth pulled on Friday morning...it turns my stomach just thinking about it.  I've had two foot surgeries, a "female" surgery, a broken leg, herniated disks in my neck, and more shoulder injuries than I care to count, but somehow this wisdom tooth thing is REALLY throwing me for a loop.  Big damn baby... Tooth and eye stuff just really skeeve me out, so the thought of my mouth cranked open while someone rips my teeth out is almost too much.  B says "stop thinking about it"...um yeah...sure babe!  All four of my wisdom teeth have grown in pretty straight, but two of them have cavities, one is apparently pretty bad, so they recommended just having the teeth removed instead of attempting fillings.  B tells me it's not going to be as bad as I'm bracing for, but I'm terrified of two main things, #1 waking up in the middle of the surgery and #2 developing "dry socket".  I worry about #1 because it happened to me during my "female surgery"....I woke up while they were doing some stitches....not cool.  Logically I know everything will be OK, that I'm lucky I don't have any impacted wisdom teeth, and I can avoid "dry socket" by following the rules and chomping down on wet tea bags, but it's still scary.... Please keep your fingers crossed for me in Blogland!!  Hope everyone is having a good week!  :)
