IVF #2: Day 10

I really thought (hoped) I would be triggering tonight.  Instead, I'll be continuing with my 300 IU of Follistim.   In fact, the nurse gave me a free vial because I was O-U-T.   What's that, like $300?  Thank you, thank you.

I go in tomorrow morning to see if I am ripe for trigger.  Thank you to all my cheerleaders.  I feel like I'm working with the Bad News Bears up in here.

I actually don't know what is going on with the ovaries.  My appointment was so early I had trouble  paying attention to the count after measurements were given for the right: 18, less than 18/maybe 16? and 10.  That's three.  The largest follicle also measured 18 on the left.  I think the smallest measured 7mm.  I heard the NP say something about seven total with five smaller follicles.  I don't know if that means twelve total or seven total or seven contenders and five that are too small.  Probably the latter, but I wasn't in the mood to ask.  I hadn't had my coffee yet.   I was trying not to stress out about the numbers again.  They will change by tomorrow anyway, hopefully in an ascending fashion.

E2 is 2,000 exactly. 
P4 is 0.4
LH is 0.24
Lining is good and hopefully won't matter anyway because we don't want a transfer, we want enough blasts to biopsy for PGD.  We'll see.  I think it's going to be a close call.

That's awesome that your nurse gave you some meds for free! I've gotten a couple needles from my clinic, and they said they had an extra Valium for me when I thought I forgot mine at home, but nothing as high priced as Follistim! That's great that they were able to help you out like that.

YAY for a free vial of meds! Shit is expensive.

Hoping for more mature follies (and healthy, fertilized embryos more than anything!!).
