Lupron: Day 8. Stims: Day 6
My Date with the DildoCam
First monitoring U/S was moved from Friday to today after I sent off an email about how much my ovaries were aching.
Good thing I did.
I'm nearly ready to pop.
13 follicles
8 on the right
5 on the left
And there might be a few more lurking about, says he. 14? 15? I can only dream I'll get so many. I had a 50% follicle to transferred embie rate last time. So this mean that we may have 6 or 7 to transfer, and let me tell you this: they're all going in. I ain't freezing anything.
He saw one that was already at 19mm and a couple others were hovering in the 16 and 17 vicinity. All I know is that I'm wondering if this speed can be attributed to my switching from Bravell/Urofollitropin to Gonal F? I mean, that is the precise day the twinges started.
So I am going in for one more U/S tomorrow. He wants to do one more U/S, just to be sure, and especially since I am SO damned early, but he said he is 99.9% sure I'll be triggering TOMORROW. Which, of course, means a Sunday retrieval and a Wednesday transfer.
And John is working that day. [growl].
Other data I got today:
E2= 1543
Prolactin = 30
The prolactin should be below 30, as in 29 or lower, and because I'm just over that threshold, I now get to add Parlodel to the daily drug cocktail. (Directions: "Take 1/2 tablet at bedtime as directed". What it really ought to say is, "Crack tablet in half and stick it in your coochie".)
So I'm early folks. Those eggs were growing fast and all that aching and griping I was doing wasn't all in my head.

post a commentI'm so glad you got in early. Women's intuition.
So very glad you are in tune with your body-- great catch! And super speedy egg growing too. Hoping all stays on track (though I am bummed that your hubby has to work on Weds.).
Fantastic news, Linda! No wonder your ovaries were griping.
Well, don't we have busy little ovaries? A Sunday retrieval sounds like an evangelical event. I'll be checking on you obsessively in the next few days. Let me know if you want to get together!
