This is a sonogram photo of my left ovary with close to 10 follicles. I know that many of you have no idea what you are looking at so I will explain what I think I know (if you are a dr reading this, you can nicely correct me by commenting, thank you!;)
I will start with the health class basics: Each lady has a left ovary and a right ovary. Each month one ovary forms a follicle, which holds one egg. When it is time for that lady to ovulate the follicle releases the egg so that it can slowly slide down the fallopian tube to the uterus. And I think we all know the rest of the story! ;)
As you can clearly see from the photo the hormones that I have been taking worked! My left ovary has made more follicles but my right one isn't far behind! The sono lady said it's looking like we will be getting a follicle count in the high teens or twenties, which means we will HOPEFULLY be getting that many eggs! Just the number we have been praying for!!! Thank you God!
I will be going in for the egg retrieval at 9 in the morning! Please join our friends, family and prayer team as we will all be praying for MANY HEALTHY eggs, great fertilization, many healthy growing embryos and please be praying for my pain to be much less this time around!
Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them. With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation. (Psalm 91:14-16)
Thank you to everyone that has commented and emailed to check on me and let me know that you, your friends and family are praying for us! I truly feel very blessed to have all of you in my life!
Praying for you Jessica!
