Here goes nothing

It is now 11:30 at night and I have one more hour til I have to do my HCG trigger shot. I have to wake up my sleeping husband at 12:30 in the morning to get my final injection. I am a little curious as to why they assigned me a trigger time of 12:30 AM... not like this whole thing makes a lick of sense.

It seems so strange that this entire IVF cycle has gone so quickly. I have waited so long for this and now it is finally here. It feels like a few minutes ago that I was crying my heart out over a failed IUI. Now I am about to embark on the final leg of this journey. How have I survived the past 2 years? Is it possible that after all the heartache and strife I am still standing??? Unbelievable. I never thought I would have the strength to make it this long. I know that it all has happened for a reason, but I have yet to figure out what that is.

I wish I could tell you the reason too. It certainly doesn't seem fair that you've had to wait this long and endure everything that you have. But please don't ever doubt your strength--you are one of the strongest people I know! ((hugs))

I'm not sure if this is the reason why but the HCG shot makes you o in 36 hours, which would put you around noon on saturday?

the RE that I worked with as a donor told me the same thing that Marz mentioned. so, the hcg shot is timed with the estimated time of retrieval. of course, this meant that the night before retrieval i had nightmares about not getting to the clinic on time (being stuck in traffic because of an accident and ovulating before i could get to the clinic). it was stressful!
