Reduction?!? You mean...Abortion??

Hah...scared you didn't I? I'm not pregnant...yet. Hehehe.

I went in today for an ultrasound and things are growing the way they should be. Even with a smaller dose, the follicles are growing. The smaller follicles should be shrinking with the injection change, but the larger ones should continue to grow. There are three follicles that are big enough for insemination in the next couple of days (15-17.9mm). I was originally going to continue two more days of bravelle and then hcg on Wednesday night, followed by IUI on Thursday afternoon, but that changed when I received a call from REI when I walked into the door this evening. Since there is a chance of the three follicles being fertilized, resulting in having triplets, it was a concern. The doctor asked if I was opened to reduction (aka abortion) if that were to happen and I immediately said, no. Because of that, I am only on bravelle for one day, hcg on Tuesday, and IUI on Thursday morning. However, I was somewhat opposed to the treatment change because I really wanted to increase my chances of getting pregnant (so selfish of me) and it was not certain that I'll be pregnant with triplets...you know what I mean? But, I understand the risks and complications with multiple births...and if it means enabling me to successfully get pregnant with one, I am okay with it. Jeremiah had to help me understand that tonight. We are all crossing our fingers and saying our prayers...hoping this cycle will bring some changes in our lives...positive changes! =D I should also note that these hormones are hard to keep up with. Parts of my body feels completely tender and sore. I always feel bloated and would also have frequent heartburn. In addition, I am quite moody. =/

Besides this, school is almost out for the school year! I have two more days with students and I am DONE! D...O...N...E!!! Wahoo! Then, on Saturday, Jacob and I will be flying out to Utah for 10 days! We'll get to rest for a few days when we come home and then off to Pismo Beach for a few days to celebrate Father's Day and our 9 year anniversary! I'm so excited!!!
