Just the Facts, Ma\'am
Just to let you all know how my monitoring is going, so you can fill it in your spreadsheets at home. Two days ago my estrogen was at 208, and today it's 482. Last time I had 7 follicles on each side, but I don't remember them measuring them. Today they measured, and they are all about 1.2 cm, growing at about the same rate. The uterus has a good lining building up (it has the classic "three lines" -- whatever that is). There was one follicle that I tried to remember the special name for. Its ultrasound picture was a little lighter than the rest, which meant that whatever the fluid was in it, it wasn't clear. So it might be a little bit of endometriosis. Ugh. That's the first time I've heard that, and I don't much care for it. So they told me to come in two years (ha! typo!) two days for another appointment. I counted it up and last time I had my eggs retrieved ten days after I started my stims. This time that would work out to Monday, but it doesn't like we'll be that quick this cycle. I'm ready to get the stim meds over with, since the Repronex (fake Menopur) is leaving red welts on my belly. It tires a girl out! Last night my mom and step-dad spent the night at our house because their house was having the floors refinished and they couldn't walk on them. I showed Mom my two evening shots, which she was very impressed by. One of the shots kept bleeding, which is impressive to the novice viewer. She hugged me three times afterwards and said she was so proud of me. Ta da! Very good infertile girl.
