Dr. L did the ultrasound this morning and found a beautiful 18mm follicle that is ready for ovulation. It looks like we will have just one follicle ready for ovulation as the others are only measuring at 11mm, 9mm and 8mm.

They really want to see the follicles at 18mm before administering the hCG shot so this 18mm follicle in the left ovary is perfect. (Last cycle, the follicle only grew to 15mm.)

I will receive the hCG shot tonight at 9:30pm. And then we will be inseminating on Sunday, July 20 and Monday, July 21. As I was leaving this morning Dr. L said, "I'll be here tomorrow so I'll see you in the morning!" It is a blessing that Dr. L will be doing the procedure.

Thanks for praying me through this phase of the process. Please continue to pray that God will allow conception to take place in the next few days.
