The 10%

This morning my trip to the clinic showed things are progressing nicely, I think. There were about 12 follicles in the 10-14 mm range.  I know they're looking for follicles in the 18 mm range before I trigger. Dr. C said from here on out I would be returning daily with a likely ER on Sunday.  Wait, Sunday? Just a few weeks ago, wasn't I sitting in Dr. M's office having him tell me they always start stims on Friday because that means 90% of women will have ER between Monday and Thursday. So what's up with a Sunday ER? Obviously, I'm not fitting neatly into that 90%. I know this seems a little extreme today because of the logistical difficulties this Sunday ER creates, and extra emotions I'm currently carrying around. However, it has brought some reflection on the fact that I often feel like I'm on the outside 10%. Things just don't seem to happen for me the same as they do for everyone else. This isn't necessarily a complaint -- it makes things sometimes better, sometimes worse. Sometimes it just feels lonely because nobody else has experienced it the way I have.
