Or, "Don't focus on the numbers."
Dr H measured 8 follicles today. There were some smaller ones but he didn't think they would grow enough to be contenders. The leaders are between 10mm and just over 12mm. My right ovary only had two measurable follicles, one at 12 mm and one at 10mm.
I'm hoping for quality at this point. And trying not to put too much emphasis on the numbers. I do wish Ms. Right Ovary had a little more hustle... Oh, well. 8 is great. 8 is enough.
Am I hiding my disappointment at all?
Here's the rest:
E2: 660
Progesterone: 0.3
Lining: 5.5
Tomorrow I add in Ganirelix (added when follicles are around 14mm to prevent any LH surge) to my daily injections and continue with 2 vials of Menopur and 300 IU of Follistim.
Stay tuned for the next monitoring report, Friday, Day 8! Maybe those small straglers will get a move on and we'll have a few more eggs in the race.

Hang in there and don't be too disappointed. It may not be as many as you were hoping for, but it's a good start...and it's enough to get you to the end goal.
Hoping that all 8 are high quality eggs.
It's all about quality. Dpn't stress about the quantity (this coming from someone who failed a cycle with 11 fertilized embryos, and succeeded with a cycle with only 4).
As one RE once said somewhere on someone's blog, "We are not an egg factory." Quality over quantity! I'm hoping that all eight of those eggs are super eggs.
This is a great report! at this point with getting on the Gani.relix that number may easily increase. Also, you are right about the quality over quantity rule. Our successful cycle had half the number than our failed one.
This is getting exciting! :)
Praying for those follies to grow big and strong! Can't wait to hear how Friday goes.
C'mon right ovary! Crossing my fingers for you!!
I hate the up and down craziness of following the numbers! Thinking of you and your eggs - 8 is great!!! Keep it up!
