3 Eggs - 2 EXCELLENT & 1 "KNOCKIN ON THE BACK DOOR"

Today was a BIG day and tomorrow will be a HUGE day and 2 weeks from tomorrow will be a GIGANTIC day for us.  Today we went in for our ultrasound to see if my egg follicles were where they needed to be for ovulation.  The whole way to the Fertility Center,  it just did not seem real.  We weren't scared, nervous, stressed or anything like that.  All it seemed to be was that we were very anxious hoping that we would be ready to go today.  Finally once we pulled in the parking garage, it started feeling a little more real but still not totally.

Once we were taken back for the ultrasound, we took the opportunity to take pictures to always remember this special time for us and also so that we could scrapbook them.

 The lady came in and started doing the ultrasound and pretty much immediately said you have 1 egg ready to go on the right side and 1 more egg "knockin on the back door ready" on the right side so you have 2 eggs total on the right side.  She moved to the left side and said, you have 1 more egg ready to go on the left side.  I have 3!!!! eggs right now 2 of which are of good size and 1 that is "knocking on the back door".  The size they look for are 18mm and my eggs were 20mm, 18mm, and 17mm.  They said because I still have another day to go that the one that is 17mm will more than likely also be a good one by the time tomorrow rolls around which also means that the other 2 that are good size could also grow a little more by then. 

After they done the ultrasound, they put us back in a small waiting area waiting on someone to come and get us and explain to us what was next. 

As we were waiting, we wanted to take a picture because we were so
excited that we had 3 eggs!!!

The lady came and got us took us into a consultation room and talked to us about what was next.  Since we have 2 good eggs and 1 "knocking on the back door", I got the HSG shot and we will return in the morning for procedure.  We have to get there at 10am so that they can get everything ready for us and then at 11:30am, we will have the procedure.  As we were talking to her, we had a couple of questions. 
1) How many eggs does a normal person have?  I thought I already knew the answer to this but Trent was asking me so I wanted to ask and make sure.  The normal person only has 1 egg a month however Clomid obviously did help me and I did get more eggs from it.  YAH, YAH, YAH!!!
2)  Trent's question to the woman was pretty funny because she knew what he was going to ask before he even got the full question out of his mouth.  He said "So since there are 3 eggs," and she butts in and says "with Clomid, there is a 5% chance of having multiples so yes it is a possibility but not much.  We do see it though"  Trent was laughing and said "well Multiples would be good but no more than twins, don't know much about triplets."  It gave us a good laugh that she knew right away what the question was.  We are still hoping and praying that since it is our generation and with the help of medicine, we will still hopefully end up with twins. 

We got to the check out area and handed the lady our sheet of paper.

At the bottom, highlighted in red, you will see it says
"IUI Tomorrow"

 When the woman saw the IUI tomorrow, she said something about it and Trent burst out with fist pump and a "WHOOHOOO" the woman gives a silly look cause she didn't know what Trent had said or done so when she looked up at him, he done it again and it gave us and her a good little laugh again. 

We are so very excited for tomorrow.  In 2 weeks after tomorrow, we will be able to test and see if we are pregnant.  The past year has flew by but these next 2 weeks will probably be the slowest 2 weeks of our lives.  It still does not totally feel real to us probably just because we have tried for so long.  We are praying that I will be a fertile myrtle and it will take the first time. 

Anyways, hopefully in a couple of weeks we will have some good news for everyone.  Thank you so very much for all the thoughtful, encouraging words, and prayers through all of this time.  It is very greatly appreciated.  Please continue to keep us in your prayers through the next couple of weeks and months.  If we get pregnant, we need prayers that everything is healthy and a good pregnancy and if not, we need prayers to be able to cope with it not happening and also for the next procedures to try again.
