Update, getting closer!

After blood work today estradiol came in at 1083 and luckily the ganarelix helped my LH drop back down, so it was .7 which is good because if it gets too high it could cause me to ovulate. We dont want that yet. I let the phlebotomist try to draw from my arm today instead of my hand. That was kind of nice because it hurts way bad to get it from your hand, but she did really well! Then ganarelix as soon as I got home again.

The nurse dropped my Follistim to 250 and added menopur 75iu. So if you are keeping count that would be a total of 4 needles that I have had stuck in myself today. One by a nurse and 3 by myself. great. Tomorrow I go in AGAIN for Blood work and an ultrasound, luckily they just opened a practice in Westboro, so I don't have to drive all the way to Lexington! woo! fx for an ER on monday maybe!

Monitoring!

Today I went in for BW and U/S (Blood work and ultrasound)

The u/s tech said my lining was 10mm and a triple stripe, which come to find out is very good (I never had lining issues so I wasnt as knowledgeable about this area of fertility)
Turns out I have 5 12mm follies on the right 3 14mm and one 12mm on the left, and a bunch of 10s and 11s. I need them all to be around 20mm. My estradiol was 1449 and my LH was 9, because my LH level was creeping upwards I had to give myself my Ganarelix shot in the car on the way to Wrentham outlets. It wouldnt go through my skin, it was SO gross. So I gave myself another 300IU of the follistim and tomorrow I will have more BW in the morning, but not another u/s. And another ganarelix shot right after the BW.

This is follistim, I have been doing 300iu a night for 7 nights.

This is the ganarelix, the needle is a tad thicker than the follistim, which could have been my injection issue.








Thats all for now I suppose, I didn't get the vera baby bag we went to the outlet for :( they didnt have it yet, maybe I'll just end up paying full price. Boo. But its just so cute!!
