Monitoring appointment today went fine. Things are progressing as they should. I have 8 to 10 good sized follicles right now and a good amount of smaller ones. Still pretty early to get an idea of what sorts of numbers we will have at retrieval but I always like hearing how they are doing. My lining was in the 9ish range (can't remember the exact number). My E2 after 7 days of stims was 1014 and since I missed posting about it on Saturday, my E2 after 5 days was 379. My follistim dosage has been decreased from 300iu to 250iu for tonight and tomorrow. Next monitoring appointment is on Wednesday.
I think they are working towards a Sunday retrieval. Uhm... really? Superbowl Sunday? Lolz. Besides the fact that I host a Superbowl party at our house every year (this year being no exception)... I think it sounds sorta lucky to have our retrieval on that day. Hopefully this is our cycle and it will be a story for our little one, one day. :)
Outside of infertility land... this weekend was so beautiful. I just love Southern California. 80 degrees all weekend. Since we were out and about early on Saturday for my monitoring appointment... we decided to be spontaneous and visit the nearby beach. It. Was. So. Beautiful. I loved it. We just sat there... letting the sun fall on us, listening to the ocean and relaxing. Really relaxing. I felt at peace. This is exactly what I needed for this cycle. I am ready for what the next two weeks may bring. We both enjoyed our impromptu beach day so much... we went back for a few hours on Sunday also.

ReplyDeleteI have a positive feeling about your retrieval day being Super Bowl as well. ;) Beautiful day at the beach...glad you are finding ways to relax!
ReplyDeleteDenise - You'll have enough eggies to roster a whole football team. LOVED your beach photo from the weekend - it was beautiful here indeed. -Laura :)
ReplyDeleteJust take it easy on the day of your retrieval please!
ReplyDeleteSounds like things are moving along nicely! Hope Wednesday gives you a clearer picture of when you'll be triggering. In the meantime, grow follies, grow!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how things look closer to Sunday! Your hubby better still be taking you for Transfer...none of this "i have to get ready for the game" stuff.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of the beautiful weather!!!

Grow eggies grow! So excited for you :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work ovaries!!!!
ReplyDeleteUmm seriously? Football party the day or ER?!?! You are a brave girl :)
Hi! We are on the same timeline it seems. I think I'm getting a Saturday retrieval. I, however, will be using ER as an excuse to skip Super Bowl stuff and watch it peacefully from home.
ReplyDeleteThat view is beautiful! A nice warm beach sounds really nice right now.
ReplyDeleteKeep growing little follies! Good luck on Sunday and take it easy!
