Here We Grow!

Friday was my baseline appointment.

Bob the ultrasound tech scared me a bit. He was doing the ultrasound and all of a sudden said he needed to switch to an exterior view. Of course panic settled in as I thought something might be horribly wrong. I asked if he found something that will delay my treatment. He said he was having a hard time getting a good visual of my right ovary.He said ovaries move around more than we think and that everything looked just fine.

I didn't ask what my antral follicle count was. Although I will admit I cheated a bit. I watched the ultrasound and counted about 7 of them on my left ovary if I was seeing things correctly. And since we didn't get a good visual on the right ovary I don't know what's happening on that side.

I asked Dr. RE how many follicles they would expect me to produce and the response was 6-20 with the added comment that even 3 would be good. Ummm...that's a rather strange answer?! The Dr. I saw today is not my main one and I really don't really like her. 

Injections went well the last two nights. The first night it burned like crazy. My husband did that one. I did the second one myself and it wasn't as bad as the first. Maybe the problem is him and not the medicine! : )

It feels like something is already growing in there. I've had a little bit of discomfort on my left and a couple twinges on my right. Any changes in my ovaries and my body feels it as the ovaries rub up against my endo.

My lab draw was awesome on Friday. I was a bit worried since the last three times have been awful. I drank a bunch of water the night before and drank some more when I woke up the morning of. The tech got it on the first try. The girl in the next curtain wasn't having as good of a day. By the sounds of it they were on poke four and moving on to her hand next. Poor thing.

I am hoping my body is responding well to the drugs and Monday's lab will bring good news.

Grow little follicles, GROW!!
