My follicles are sort of all over the place. I have a few at 17mm, I have a few at 13mm and then I also have some tiny ones that probably won't amount to much. What this means for me is no definitive answers. I have to go back tomorrow to see how my follicles are looking, and then they will make a decision if I have to have another day of stimulation (Bravelle). Depending on what it looks like tomorrow, I might have to drive directly from the appointment to a specialty pharmacy that carries these meds and get more just for tomorrow, as I only have enough to get through today. This will no doubt take 3 hours of my day. Oh, and then I have to work my full-time job.
Nevertheless, I am in the home stretch now, with hopefully just a few more days of shots to go. Hopefully tomorrow I will know for sure when ER will be.
Left ovary is producing some bigger follicles:

I am trying to take it a day at a time, but looking forward is very daunting: egg retrieval means going under sedation for the 5th time in 6 months, then you wait on pins and needles for the next 3-5 days for the daily embyrologist report telling you how your embryos are doing, then you go in for transfer. Then you WAIT. For almost 2 weeks. And that's when the real the terror sets in: What if all this doesn't work? What if I have to do it again? What if it does work and I miscarry again? No doubt there will be blog posts about this in days to come.
Update: 2:30pm- Call from the nurse, no real news here. Estradiol is climbing (1,314) and I need to continue on my same meds til tomorrow morning when they see me again.
