The report from today’s baseline u/s and b/w is great: no cysts, a perfect uterine lining and 31 follicles. Holy cow! I wasn’t expecting that. I only found out after asking the doctor if there were any cysts. “Nope, oh, and you have 31 follicles.”
So, I’m a pretty happy person right now. I start 150 units of Follistim tomorrow night and go back in for b/w on Tuesday so they can decide if I need to lower my dosage or not. The Follistim will stimulate my little follies to grow and, while they don’t want *all* of them to grow, they want at least 20 to grow and mature. That would make for a fantastic retrieval.
Retrieval is still tentatively scheduled for March 10 or 11. I’d almost prefer it to be on the 11th because, although I would have my blood test on my birthday, my transfer would be on a Saturday, so I wouldn’t have to take another day off and Joe wouldn’t have to stress about getting to work.
