what's your bet on the count?

Went in for the first ultrasound after starting stims. They counted about 8 follicles on the right side and about 13 on the left. Hopefully a good number of those will mature nicely and be perfectly ripe at the time of retrieval. They're hoping for 15-20 follicles/eggs. The doc said some of them may look like they're getting big just to drop off and have nothing in them.
I was telling my husband that I get these sort of electrical shocks in the region of my ovaries. I had a hunch that the follicles were just going crazy with the budding (or whatever you want to call it) each time I felt this little slight shock in my lower abdomen on alternating sides. He didn't believe me. He thinks that when I tell him things are going on in my body that I'm just making it up or that I read it on the internet and now feel it myself--like a sort of hypochondrism. I'm telling you I never read anywhere about anyone else experiencing these kinds of symptoms.
I'm waiting for the call about my blood work for today to see if I have to get another draw tomorrow or if it'll wait until Friday when I have the next ultra sound.
And I was a good patient and asked about taking Repronex with a benign pituitary growth / tumor that I have. Mine is little and just secretes an eensy amount of prolactin. The nurse said that if I'm not experiencing other symptoms of the growth that there isn't a concern. Apparently Repronex makes the tumor do these things, but I already have a medication to lower my slightly elevated prolactin levels as it is. That's what they'd make me take to counteract it anyway.

Here's hoping the insecticide does it's thing on the squash beetles that have invaded my garden. This is the third offense against them. We tried the organic rout, and it helped to subdue them, but they came back and were drawing up their forces for a huge attack on my little squash plants. This insecticide should do the trick. That's what the internet has been telling me, as well as the wonderful people at the local plant nursey I went to yesterday to buy this chemical. I'm definitely going to go back there to look at their plants and to purchase more landscaping products. But not until it's not 108 degrees F outside with 30% humidity.

Does anyone know how to motivate an 18-year old recent high school graduate?
