I might trigger tomorrow night. Or, I could trigger Monday. Basically, everything’s up in the air right now. That’s what my IVF coordinator said when she called this afternoon. It sucks because I am *so* anxious to get this party started. I am feeling really good about it right now, especially after today’s u/s. The doctor said they like uterine linings to be between 6 and 8 mm. Mine is 10.88. She said the thickness is great, and, to me, it should make it much easier for my little embies to implant. More lining means less space in between the walls.
The doctor measured 19 follies today. One was a 16, one was a 15 and the rest were between 12 and 14. I am so happy that they’re all pretty much growing together. They should all be ready for retrieval at the same time. Yay! My estrogen level today was just higher than 1,500, and they expect it to be around 2,000 tomorrow. My progesterone was at 1.3, which is good because it means I’m not getting ready to ovulate on my own. I can thank the Lupron for that!
They think that I’ll have a couple of 18s tomorrow and that the rest will still be slightly smaller. If that’s the case, I’ll likely trigger Monday for a Wednesday retrieval. The ER on today told me to lower my Follistim dose to 100 iu, so unless my follies really decide to explode tonight, I think a trigger tomorrow probably won’t happen. I’m ok with it, though. As you all said, everything is still going really well, and I just need to have more patience. I’m just *so* ready to get my eggs out and have my little embies put back in me, though, that I can hardly stand it. But, I really think this new schedule will work out better for everyone. And, I know that God is leading us through this. I can feel it, and I know that my schedule changed for a reason.
