Today, my ultrasound displayed 5 follicles on the left side and 7 follicles on the right and my lining is 7 mm. The stims are working!! Yeah! All of my levels from my blood work on Monday were also on track and my doc was happy with the progress. He even high fived me for the good report after my ultrasound.
Tomorrow I start another injection in the morning, Ganirelix. This goes along with the Follistim injection in the morning and my Follistim and Menopur injections at night. We'll keep this up until my next appointment on Monday when the doc will tell me how many more days of injections I have and when we're scheduled for egg retrieval.
After my visit with the doc, I met with the Fertility Coordinator again and got my instructions for filling the rest of my meds with the pharmacy and then headed off to have more blood work done. Today, the office didn't have a phlebotomist on site so I drove down the street to visit the clinic. Thankfully again today I drank PLENTY of water and they had no issues getting what was needed to check my levels again. Hopefully, I'll be exactly where I need to be to move forward!
In other news, St. Louis is getting sleet and freezing rain tonight. Both D and I made sure to get home before that junk started lining the roads. After our debacle last winter where it took us both 4+ hours to get home, I'm not about to mess with that again anytime soon. Plus, we have bigger things to plan for in the future and we're not about chance it for this weather. :)
