Officially bloated

When I woke up I thought it was because of the half pound black and blue burger I destroyed at my birthday dinner last night but as the day when on I have been feeling more and more ovary pressure and I think its safe to say my follicles are showing. It feels like I'm 3 months pregnant and I know this is only going to get worse as the days go on.
Well it is my 33rd birthday today and this is what I have to say about it
I went in and saw Dr. Moretuzzo and I feel much better about my body than I did on Saturday. He was able to see 10 follies on right and 6 follies on left. Out of 16- he measured 8 that were all around the same size - 10. Seems like they growing 2mm per day. These have to get to size of 18 before they are retrieved. Dr. says I am a slow responder (which I knew already) and instead of the average 9-11 days of stims, I will on stims for 11 to 13 days. He is guesstimating the egg retrieval will be next Wednesday August 6th. I'm probably not starting Cetrotide until this Wed. when I go back for another ultrasound and bloodwork. Cetrotide will prevent me from ovulating early. Dr. said he doesn't want to start Cetrotide until my Estrogen is 400 or above or when my follies are size 14. I got bloodwork done today so if my estrogen is 400 or higher nurse will call and tell me if I need to start Cetrotide earlier.
 
I needed to order more meds. (UGH, Damn slow responding body. You expensive!) So I the pharmacy just called trying to charge me double than what I paid last time. All they want is my credit card number. They are not too empathic on the phone. (understatement). I told the lady she not getting my credit card number until she gets my total right.
 
So that's it for today. I'm a tad bit tired of the shots in the belly. And I think Scott is a tad bit tired of giving them to me. My stomach looks like a pin cushion. A pin cushion with a side of bruising.
