Despite not having to get up early to give Flo her 8 am injection, we still had to be at the hospital at 09:45, so no Sunday morning lie in for us. It's turning out to be very tiring this baby making process!
The point of this 3rd ultrasound scan was to determine if Flo's smaller follicles were still growing and if so, whether they're growing at a rate quick enough to join in the party.
Well, relative to yesterday, things appear to be improving. The lining of Flo's womb continues to look "beautiful" and the smaller follicles are continuing to grow at a rate where they might mature just in time. Meanwhile, the over enthusiastic follicle is managing to contain itself and not become so ripe that it falls from the plant like a big juicy tomato... figuratively speaking of course (I initially wrote apple, but the image was replaced by the mess a tomato makes when squashed... I thought this was more apt). Personally, when I compare the manner in which Flo's follicles appear to be behaving with the manner in which Flo prepares to go out, it doesn't really suprise me what's happening... it's all being left to last minute when there's a sudden mad rush to get ready, which invariably leads to arriving late... but beautifully presented with a short, sweet appology and everything turning out OK.
We have to return to the hospital again early tomorrow morning to check that everything is continuing to progress as anticipated. There's now potentially four candidates in the running (a late entry was spotted but unfortunately has missed the boat somewhat)... we'll be happy if three are successfully "plucked", with one or two strong embryos returned to the mother ship.
The smart money is on a Wednesday puncture.
