Results -- Day 8 of Stims....

Well, I went in for my second Ultrasound and Blood work on Saturday. Saturday was my eighth day of stimulation drugs for my first IVF cycle. Unfortunately, I had "Rat Face" (You will have to read way back in my Journal to an entry last May regarding this doctor) and he did not tell me much of anything. I could not tell how many follicles were growing on each ovary. The only comment that he made was.."well, we aren't breaking any records, but they are growing." Nice. Anyway, I called one of the IVF nurses this morning and told them that I wanted to know what my Estradoil level was from Saturday (as Rat Face never called with  the results of my blood work) and she told me everything was progressing nicely. That my E2 levels had gone from 108 on Wednesday to 357 on Saturday and that my follicles were between 9 and 11 mm. She said that I needed to come in on Tuesday for another Ultrasound and Blood work and that hopefully, just once more and then I would trigger. She was very nice and said that despite the impression that I got from Rat Face, I was not responding slowly...but was right on target. I am not sure that I believe that, however. I will have been on stims for 11 days as of Tuesday and that is about how long most people are on them before they trigger and I suspect that I will not be ready to trigger (based on the cycle so far) until Thursday or Friday.  Oh well, at least she was nice and gave me some hope today. Just think, though in a matter of a week or less....I will hopefully have some little babies in my tummy!!!!! Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope!!!!!
