Stim Day 6 E2/SONO

Well, it took me almost an hour and a half to get there in the traffic and rain but I FINALLY made it downtown.  Another great appointment...things are moving right along!  My lining went from a 6 to an 8 (since Tuesday).  I now have 8 follies on one side (9-11mm) and 10 follies on the other (largest at 13mm).  Oh, and a full bladder (bonus info).

On Tuesday, my E2 level looked good at 225 and today it was at 688.  Should I be feeling CRAZY?  I feel fine but if I have a free pass, I'd like to take advantage of it!

My nurse called this afternoon to give me the scoop on new dosages.  I've been doing 5 Lupron and 150 Gonal-F in the morning and 150 Gonal-F in the evening.  My mornings will stay the same but evenings are down to 75.  I count in needles, so it's all the same to me...

Oh, and I'm feeling like a drug addict.  Did my first out-of-the-house injection this evening...it was weird.  I had dinner with girlfriends (that have NO idea what's up).  So, I packed the Gonal-F, syringe and alcohol wipes and excused myself at 6:30 to do the deed.  I was SO proud of myself.  Victory is MINE!

Stim Day 4 E2/SONO

Had my first appointment today since starting stims on Saturday.  I was SUPER nervous!!!  I just wanted a good, healthy report; a report that says, "You're kicking ASS.  Keep up the great work."

They called me back for blood work first.  I later got the call that my E2 level is 225.  My nurse said that's a good number.  I'll trust her.

The beloved vagcam was next...I know, I know, take of my clothes from the waist down and you'll be right back.  I'm aware of the routine.  SIDE NOTE: Do you ever grab an extra packaged towelette or two?  No?  Just me?  Cool.

Well, none of my follicles are considered "measurable" (at least 10mm) YET...but they're definitely there!  My right ovary has 6ish and my left ovary has 8ish.  The nurse seemed pleasantly surprised...I guess that's good?

No change in meds for now: 150 Gonal-F (am and pm) and 5 Lupron (am only).  No more Menopur for now (I'm not going to argue).

I'm thrilled (and relieved) that my appointment went well today.  I can't believe I have another one Thursday, Saturday and Monday.  Good Lord, I feel like I LIVE there and every appointment is ONE STEP CLOSER.  CRAZY.
