IVF #1, 1st scan
Hello :)
I am mainly just writing this journal as something for me to reference in the future if I need to. But i had my first scan yesterday and everything is looking good. I had 11 good sized follies, all 11 & smaller (I've been on stims for 3 days at this point) and I had a few little stragglers, so all is looking good and my RE is happy with that. He did bump me up from 300 IU of Gonal to 375 and I will have another scan tomorrow to see how things are looking. I'm also taking 75 IU of Menapur and he did ask me to bring my Ganarelix to the appt tomorrow incase I need to start taking that to prevent me from ovulating. He mentioned something about if the follies get to be 13 or bigger than we will start the Ganarelix. So there's that!
I am feeling pretty good so far. A little emotional and a little on the tired side but I think that just comes with the territory. I have been really bad though as far as food goes :/ I usually try to eat relatively healthy and for some reason the last few days I just seem to be hungry all the time! And on top of that, nothing is really that satisfying so I have just been eating & eating, ugh! I have noticed my lower abdomen being a little on the tender side and I can only imagine that that feeling will continue to intensify. But really overall, it hasn't been too bad...yet!
As far as I'm aware we are still looking at the ER on 8.3 and the transfer being on 8.8. But you never know! Fingers crossed for another good scan tomorrow! I'll update when I know more!
I hope you are all doing well and just know that you are all always in my thoughts!
