I am sore. Really sore. And tonight will be just my fourth stims shot. My IVF coordinator says it will get worse. Bring it on, follicles. The aching shows me my meds are working and makes the bloating and weight gain worth it.
My estrogen level today was 284. My coordinator said it’s a little high, but not too high. That’s all I really know about it. I don’t know what it should be to compare to. But, she said my lab work was good, so I’m not concerned. The doctor is dropping my Follistim to 125 units. I’m hoping it will drop lower because I *really* don’t want to have to buy another cartridge.
Tomorrow morning, I have an ultrasound and more blood work. I’m excited to see how my follies are growing. They sure feel like they’re getting big!
Sigh. You have more follicles in your ovaries than I have on my head…
Hang in there! There’s a big BIG prize at the end of all this!
I’m sending some good vibes your way – seems like you need them…
I am sooo excited for ya…. Good luck!
Very exciting, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you two!
I’m sorry you’re sore but that’s a good sign, right 🙂 Sending good thoughts, prayers & vibes your way 🙂
I’m so far behind I think I’m first!
I have no idea what ‘follicles’ you are talking about and why they would be sore… but, perhaps I don’t need to know!
There seems to be a lot more to this IVF that I ever imagined. I’ll be back to see how it’s going 🙂
very informative, worth reading, thanks!
