Triggering tonight! Retrieval set for Tuesday morning at 7:30. I’m so relieved. I’m going to put in 2 sick days Tuesday and Wednesday. My husband raised his eyebrows at this. What are your guys’ thoughts on taking 2 consecutive sick days? I don’t know why but I generally feel guilty taking any time off work and it takes a lot to take and extra day to recover but my therapist has been pushing me to take days off work. She wanted me to take off since last Friday. That’s crazy talk!
Anyway, I’m glad that this cycle is over. It was a little more emotionally taxing than before, I think. Now just to get through tomorrow. I feel like it’s going to be a long day at work.
Thanks for following along this millionth IVF cycle. I’ll update on Tuesday when I get home unless something else cool comes up!
Emotional: Joy
Physical: Still achey and I’m so full of bruises
Food: Yesterday tacos again at a friend’s house. And rotisserie chicken tonight for dinner.

Self-care is important! Take those days off!
Yeah! Thanks!
Yay!!!! I’ll be praying for a good crop of eggs for you. Send as far as taking 2 days off, I can’t see a problem. Relax and take it easy ready for transfer 😁😁 xx
Thank you very much! ❤️
So happy you’re ready for retrieval!! Fingers crossed for you tomorrow morning.
And really, if you have the time available to you, take it!! Give yourself a break and relax a bit 😊
Thank you Amy. I’m all comfy cozy under the covers now 😁
Hope the retrieval goes well! Try not to feel guilty about the sick days. It sounds like you rarely take sick days and this is important. xx
Thank you my friend! ❤️
I hope retrieval went well. Also wondering if you think the SeroVital made a difference?
Thank you! I guess we’ll see how many embryos make it at the end of this. But I haven’t felt any different really. I started exercising right at the same time I started the pills so I’m not sure if the better skin or slight weight loss was due to the pills or not. I’ll keep you posted!
