Wednesday (3/13) - My husband worked today so I went to Memphis on my own since they are such quick appointments and so early. They drew a vial of blood and I got a sonogram. When she did the sonogram you could definitely see the follicles better. The ones on my right measured over 10 but the follicles on my right still measured less than 10 mm. They had grown though and she said they were all of similar size in each ovary. The tech also said my lining was thickening and doing what it should be. She said everything looked perfect. I told her I was relieved to hear that since I had not been feeling anything. I had been warned of the pain and uncomfortableness I would experience and I hadn't yet so I was scared it wasn't working. The nurse called later that day and all my meds were kept the same for Wednesday and Thursday.
Friday (3/15) - My husband and I headed out really early again today. I got blood drawn and another sonogram. I had a different tech this time and she counted lower numbers of follicles. I wonder if this is normal. She didn't show any concern over it. She did measure my largest five follicles in each ovary like was done Wednesday. All had grown and the ones on the left were still smaller. Some on my right measured around 14mm. The nurse called this afternoon and said that I would lower my Follistim dose tonight to a 200 unit injection and then lower it to a 175 unit injection tomorrow. She said they wanted them to grow a little more but not too much before I come back in. I am supposed to be back in Memphis at 8am on Sunday morning. I am getting closer so I hope to get my egg retrieval date on Sunday. I will keep you all posted. Please keep sending up all the extra prayers you can spare! God is working this out so beautifully and I am thankful!
