So two days of waiting for you next monitoring appt is way more bearable than four! This morning came super quick, and I was of course totally excited to get another glimpse at my growing follies. Even though it meant getting up an hour earlier, for the fourth day this week so I could drive my butt downtown. I miss my morning naps on the train, ahhh...the good ole days. So the headlines are my follies are bustin, both the u/s lady and the nurse who took my blood called me an over achiever...love it! I've graduated to the daily monitoring so I go back again bright and early tomorrow, and this nurse is guessing trigger Saturday and ER on Monday!!
I'm already so excited to get these eggies out of me, my ovaries are acting up. It's not painful, more like constant twinges or throbs! Its almost like there are two little parties down below, and not quiet little cocktail parties...I'm talking frat guy style keg parties, lots of action!! I much prefer knowing they're there and doing their job without actually feeling it. But a small price to pay for some great looking follies. Here are my stats:
Right ovary: 16, 16, 15, 14, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 10, 9
Left ovary: 17, 14,5, 14, 13,5, 12, 11, 10, 10, 10, 9
Lining: 14
Estradiol: tbd
The nurse said they like the follies to be between 15-20, so we're getting close here people. Tonight I continue my meds, 10 iu's Lup.ron, 75 iu's Men.apur (which stings like a mother...ouch), 75 iu's Folli.stim (which was lowered from 150 to 75 on Tuesday because my estradiol was on the high side for CD8).
So I'm sure you can tell IVF has pretty much consumed my life this week, and I plan everything around monitoring appts, acupuncture appts (so excited for this afternoon), which days I need to drive (every day), giving shots at the right time (which hubby had to do last night in our car while parked in a parking garage downtown), and planning for my ER so I can attempt to give work some notice I'll be out. I think I'm going to shoot the email today to my boss that "the little procedure" I had previously mentioned may end up being this Monday, but I won't know for sure until Saturday so I'll email him this weekend and confirm. I'm sure that won't confuse the crap out of him, I'm dying to know what he thinks this procedure might be, hah! Okay, and now time for some serious blog catch up!!!
