Today was my first monitoring appointment after starting injections on Friday. Thankfully my ovaries were visible immediately this time. My right had about 4 contending follicles measuring 9, 7, 4 and 4. The left ovary was about the same in terms of follicle size but the NP counted 6 or so. I think we are looking at 12-13 including the small follies that weren't measured. Even so, I have a feeling the final numbers will be similar to IVF #1, where 10 eggs were retrieved.
On Day 4 of IVF #1, I had 11 follicles all under 10 mm with an E2 level of 315.
My follies must be smaller this round because my E2 is below 300. I go back on Day 5, Wednesday, and until then, continue with the same dosage: 2 vials of Menopur and 300IU of Follistim.
Grow follies, grow! Uniformly, that is, all together now.

Sending good thoughts your way!
Thinking of you and hoping for lots of perfect eggs!
that's a great start. My ovaries were sleeping during the first monitoring appointment, but I managed to sqeak out 10 eggs.
Can't wait to hear the updates!
Really hoping that the smaller ones play catch up to the bigger ones. I had they uneven growth rate with both of my IVFs.
Grow follies grow! you know my clinic doesn't scan before day six of stim, so your numbers sounds fantastic to me already! Love, Fran
My RE never gives me my blood draw results - no E2 levels, progesterone, etc. I think I prefer it this way; it's less for me to obsess about.
