Back from another titillating RE monitoring check.
Follies are finally all taking off and catching up, after a nerve wracking 12 days of stims…
Right: 17, 16, 15, 14, 13 (plus two under 10)
Left: 16.5, 16, 15, 15, 15, 14, 14, 13 (plus three under 10)
Lining was 11mm.
Awaiting E2 results from the bloodwork. But, assuming that the estrogen rise was appropriate today, looks like I might have just two days of stims left. And the record for longest stimming patient (I kid, but come ON, 15 days??)
I have an appointment on Friday to do one more check, and probably a Saturday trigger (maybe). Which means Egg Retrieval (ER) might be Sunday or Monday (maybe).
I have to admit, these IM injections are wearing on me. I am ready to move on to the next step.
Nurse T and Nurse L keep reminding me that I am doing just fine.
I am trying to believe them. Really trying.

You have great numbers!!!!!!I am so excited for you! 🙂
Hang in there! It won’t be too much longer now… Reading your posts this week takes me back to where I was this time last year (on my 2nd IVF cycle). Anyway, I am sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers your way. You can do this (and already are doing it)! (((HUGS)))
I’m sending you more grow*follies*grow vibes…I know you are trying to hang in there…ER early next week, fingers crossed!!
Those follies are looking really good. Hang on, you are almost there!
yay just 2 more days!! grow follies grow!!!
woo hoo, grow follies grow!
And I thought I held the record at 14 days… :)Hang in there. You ARE going to get there.
That’s a lot of stimming! I hope that your follies are growing nice and steady and strong.
I have to agree with the nurses (and I rarely do) by saying you are doing fine. Really fine.If you’re sick of the IM inj, just wait until you’re doing PIO!
For what it’s worth, I think you’re doing great! I know that worry when it takes more stims to produce a result (I had that with my last IUI), but the important thing is that you are getting the result. So, hang in there and sending lots of good wishes for beautiful, beautiful eggs.
