Trigger (IVF/ICSI #2, awaiting ER)

I'm no baby when it comes to pain and needles. I'm no masochist either, but I do have Endo, and tolerate pain well. Yowser! The Ovidrel trigger and I had a hard time bonding tonight. I've triggered with Ovidrel before, and it didn't feel like this with my 1st cycle. I'm wondering if my belly is just so sensitive after doing 2 back-to-back cycles? Or maybe my ovaries are so huge right now and everything is more sensitive?

In fact, I poked myself with the Ovidrel needle once tonight and it was about halfway in when I realized I just couldn't go further. I pulled it out and tried in another spot and it was better, but I still had to go extra slow with the plunger.

My bo.obs and ovaries feel like they're about to explode. With the last cycle, my e2 was over 4,000, but they didn't coast me. I'd like to know what my e2 was this time around that forced them to go from 300 iu Gonal-F to 150 to 75 to coasting. I'll be asking for copies of my medical records tomorrow, because my clinic is notoriously bad with sharing info. It's like pulling teeth. And then I'll have lots to obsess over during the 2ww. [evil grin]

Monday's retrieval can't come soon enough.
