Hey ladies,
I hope you don't mind if I AW it up right now.
Our IVF cycle started last Sunday night and I had my first monitoring on Thursday. It wasn't looking good and my RE almost canceled me because I had two lead follicles. We told him that we wanted to keep pushing forward and so we upped my medicine, and decided to let those two big ones "go". At that scan I only had 3 follicles on each side.
I went back Saturday and things looked better, but still not where he would like them. I had 4 follicles on each side at this scan and my lining was getting thicker. We kept up with the medicine and then I went back today for a scan. I have 5 on each side that he considers to be in the running. He told me that I "really rallied" at the end of this, so he was super excited for me. That's exactly what I needed to hear!
Here is what we had today:
The plan is for me to continue my medicine tonight (follistim + menopur), and tomorrow morning (ganirelix). Then, I have an appointment at 9 am tomorrow to check things out. I need to take all of my left over follistim and menopur to the office, and they will most likely inject me with a final dose while I'm there.
We will trigger Tuesday night for an egg retrieval on Thursday! I'm super excited and super nervous. It seemed like doom and gloom at the first appt and now my body seems to be getting it's shit together!
On top of all of this going on, tomorrow is a Tuesday and it's 24 weeks since we lost her. It's going to be a little easier to me knowing we had good news today on the scan, and things are looking well, but I still miss her so much.
I wish my girl was here, and that I wasn't even worrying about this...but, it is what it is, and I'm so thankful we are able to do IVF.
I love you guys and I appreciate all of you being here for me! I know I haven't been there as much as I should be lately, but I think of you guys all the freakin time and I am so thankful for you!!!
