Oh, pho, how I love you. You are beefy and anise-y and noodle-y. You warm me and make me feel like the world makes sense again. I can customise you in so many ways, with all the fresh green basil I want, a squirt of lime here, a dash of sambal there. The crunch of sprout, the squish of noodle, the chew of beef strip. You are all things, the healer of all ails, good for any meal of the day.
I love you very much pho.
Oh, and yeah, the tummy bug has lessened, and I had a yummy bowl of pho today for lunch. Now I am certainly cured. I am convinced pho should be prescribed to everyone. The world would be a happier place, I'm sure.
And, in non-pho related news, I am triggering tonight! After my monitoring visit this morning, I was not thinking it would happen. I had about 8-9 over 16mm on the right, largest measured at 19mm. And 4 bigger than 16mm on the left. But here's what I'm thinking - there is a wide discrepancy between u/s techs. The one I had today was certainly on the conservative side, I could even see her cheating me a mm here and there. When my bloodwork came back at e2 = 2869 (!) they said trigger. Which I agree with. Can you believe, estradiol increased over 1000 in a day? Yeah, I'd say I'm ready.
So at 8:30am on Saturday, I'll be under the knife, or needle, or vacuum, or whatever the hell they use to get those eggs. And most fancy of all, Dr. Famous is on this weekend, so he'll actually be doing my ER. Fancy.
C'mon eggs, let's all be grown ups here! Let's be mature!
Listen up here follies, you're about to be served a gourmet meal of hcg, listen to your mama and enjoy it as much as mama enjoys her Pho! Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat you did here was bury the lead: The real news is not Pho, but you are triggering!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. So glad Dr. Famous will be available to do your procedure! Cool!

Mmm pho is so good! I love trying it at different restaurants. Yea for triggering tonight! I hope the transfer goes well!
ReplyDeletePho!!!! I just ate Vietnamese food tonight, too, and I DIDN'T order the pho & totally regretted it.
ReplyDeleteAnd triggering! WOOHOOO!!!!! Best of all possible luck!
Good luck! Glad your rockstar RE will be doing the egg retrieval. That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteawesome! Good work ovaries! yay for Dr Famous being on duty, the good news just keeps rolling in! You can count on me to be crossing my fingers and holding my breath that those follicles all contain nicely mature and fabulous A grade eggies. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome news! It sounds like you are set to get great results. I wish you all the very best with your ER and then with your fertilization, and then with your FET!
ReplyDelete*Big hugs!*
Great news! Hope all those follicles are mature and you have a great haul of eggs ready to fertilize. Best of luck! And how great that ER falls on a Sat too, so that you can take it easy for the weekend.
ReplyDelete(Thanks a lot for making me hungry for Pho at 11:30pm!)
The Chew of Beef Strip..sounds like a porn movie. A very scary porn movie. Will be sending good thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteYay for triggering! I'm so excited for you! And what a great E2 number with those follies. Here we go...come on eggies...be nice and mature for mama!
ReplyDeleteI have so been there on the wild rises in E2--so I'm glad you're triggering! Mine got to 7,000 before they triggered me last time, I mean, COME ON!
ReplyDeleteHoping for a great egg retrieval!
Hope everything went smoothly at retrieval this morning & you have lots of healthy eggs:)
