Day 9: U/S & B/W

So today is Day 9 of stims, the shots are easy to do but the Repronex is the painful one!  I get some raised red welts, and it stings!  I happily thought last night that soon the injections will be over... that was short lived when I realized after the transfer I start twice daily Heparin shots - yay :(

U/S this morning went okay, DH came with me so that was nice.  We lost track of the counts so here is what I recall;

R: 12, 3x11, 7, L: 12, 11, 9, 8 (definitely less than the 16 counted on Day 6 - maybe they don't measure below a 7?)

Lining is 10mm - that makes me happy - the thickest I had during IUIs was 11 so I figure I have a few more days to thicken that up some more :)

Estradiol: 2380

I will be setting up another u/s & b/w for Sunday, my dosage has been increased to 150Puregon & 75 Repronex every day now.  I guess I'm not responding as well as he had hoped on the lower doses?  Fingers crossed that by Sunday we see some in the 14-16mm range - I think that will help allay some of my fears.

Update: E b/w came back, Dr. is happy with the number and Sundays u/s has been moved to Monday again...

Grow follies, Grow!!!

Day 6 - U/S & B/W

So today is Day 6 of the stims and we had our first real monitoring this am to see how well (or not) that I am reacting to the drugs!

The U/S shows 16 follicles, 5 on the right and 11 on the left, the largest is on the right at about 7mm.  Estradiol results will come back later this afternoon (655!).

For now I will wait to see about the drug dosage, I think the RE will keep me on my 75IU Puregon and Repronex, although he did mention he may do alternates so 1 day at 75, one at 150.  They definitely do not want more follicles, just growth now :)

** Update dose is now 150 Puregon, 75 Repronex tonight, regular tomorrow (75x2) and increased dose on Thursday (150/75), with monitoring on Friday!

My nurse mentioned that I have multi-follicular ovaries, just not PCOS, that's the first time I've heard that phrase, so I'll be doing some investigation now....

DH and I have a poll going for how many we think we will we will end up with, I've got my money on 11, he went with 10.  Only 9 days left till we can find out the winner :)
