Hello everyone!
Well here is my new information from my appointment this morning.
Data:
I have 13 follicals less then 10mm total on both sides.
I have 13 follicals bigger then 10mm total on both sides. Out of those 10 are roughly the same size and 3 are roughly bigger then the rest.
I have 10 large follicals on my right and 3 large folicals on my left. I do not know the break down of the smaller follicals.
My uterine lining is 9.2 which is good.
Okay that is my data, here is what it means. I have 13 follicals that are small and some of them my develop into eggs and some may not. Right now I am about a week out from my egg retrival so it is hard to predict anything right now.
The three follicals that are larger may be ignorned because they would perfer to get 10 eggs as opposed to 3. However time will tell with that.
My RE thinks that I should plan on my egg retrival being late next week. He said either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. My hope is that it will be Thursday because then a 5 day embryo transfer will be on July 31’s the day I gave birth to Christopher, Alexander and Emily. And to me that would just be fitting.
Right now I don’t have all my instructions but I imagine that I will just be taking Repronex from here till my trigger (36 hours prior to my egg retrival). I also know that I am going to be taking lupron today (done) and tomorrow.
My next appointment is Saturday and I will post more information at that time.
As far as what I feel like right now I feel my ovaries. That is to be expected since they are working so hard. Especially my right one. I am sore from the Repronex injections and this causes me to walk funny. I have stopped taking the stairs up to our unit (2nd floor) and now only use the elevator. It is hard enough for me to walk. I don’t need the challenge of stairs. Ha ha! The drugs are also messing with my sleeping patterns. I really think I need naps but I fear that I will sleep to long and feel worse. So that is a careful balancing act.
No one said that any of this would be easy. I am just trying to focus on my children’s faces to try to make it worth while.
Talk to you later!

I just got my update! I will be taking 150 IU of Repronex for the next 2 nights. Although this is double the dose it doesn’t change the amount of liquid I will be taking. It just changes the concentration. So that is my news! Talk to you later!
