Medication(s) administered and dosage(s). 3 injections: (AM) Cetrotide 0.25mg, (PM) Gonal-F 300iu and Menopur 75iu.
Medical procedures undertaken. Ultrasound and Estradiol blood test, my mum came with me, that was really nice.
How do I feel today? I pretty much cried at work today because my team gave me a good luck/thinking of you card, with a very generous gift – a voucher for a very fancy restaurant in our neighbourhood…to help us chill out! How amazing is that?
What are my symptoms? My stomach is still painful from the injections and I feel like I am waddling a little bit from the bloating 😦
How does Chris feel today? He is out having a drink with some work colleagues at the moment, so I think he is probably feeling OK right now!! I just couldn’t face it this evening.
Any results? Today I had 7 follicles on each side, so it looks like the left ovary caught up, but I am not sure why I had 9 two days ago and today there were 7! Most of them were 13mm-16mm and the two newbies were 6-8mm I am not sure how they track them all, there are so many to count and measure. Whatever…it looks like I’m reacting to the drugs according to plan so that is all that matters.
What’s next? Tomorrow morning I have another monitoring appointment, hopefully the last one before they give me the go ahead to ‘trigger’ and I have egg retrieval on Monday. Yippeee!!

Hours of Sunshine 🙂 No sun today 😦
*Notes. I take First Response Reproductive Health multi vitamin gummies (pre-natal) and CoQ10 200mg gummies daily. NSTR = Nothing Significant To Report.
Wow, that follicle growth chart is so interesting! It’s really cool to see it illustrated like that. I love that your team gave you a good luck card and gift; that is very sweet! I can’t believe you’re getting so close to trigger day!! Thinking about you. xx

Yay for trigger day!! And yes, having enormous, bloated ovaries is not very pleasant. I thought it was really bizarre to be able to feel them through my skin. But you’re getting there! Are you planning a 5 day transfer?

They really were amazing, it was very unexpected!!! Everything looks good so far, but I know that looks at this stage can be deceiving – the proof will be in the pudding (hehe) once retrieval is done and we see some actual eggs 🙂
