IVF2
We had another scan this morning. I swear the stupid switch turns on for DH every time we step into the ultrasound room. However I forget what was todays jokes about. I had a bit of anxiety to hear the progress we made, so I said something to DH and he got quiet. I asked what's going on, he said he is trying to behave lol.


The scan went good, we saw another new (for us) RE today.He saw more follicles then we had on Sunday. They are growing nicely, lefty has many and in the range of 1.3-1.6, righty is catching up with five follicles in the range of 1.1- 1.3.

I can't help myself not to get excited. I am feeling happy and hopeful, even though with my age I believe more in quality over quantity. It's just nice to see such a difference from the last cycle we had.
I am convinced now that I was over suppressed. We barely had anything on day 9 of stims last time, and RE said today we almost have to many eggs this time. I am waiting for the blood work results to see what my dosage will be for today, and will be back for another scan tomorrow morning.
It's hard to believe that last time I stimed for 14 days and this time I don't think we will pass eleven days. We don't know yet, but I am thinking it will be a friday or saturday retrieval.

We also saw the counselor today, and I could not stop talking about my great support of the ladies form here. IVF.ca


Update; E2 results: 14646 decrease Gonal-f to 150IU and no Manopur. Will be donating Gonal-F to the clinic so they can give it to someone who can't afford it. All 900IU of it. Woohoo!! so happy to do that, as I got 300IU pen for free my last cycle at the clinic.

Thanks for reading
Love and blessings
