Went in for another ultrasound and lab work this morning. Things are progressing and more eggs sacs are showing themselves. I did not get a call to tell me to change my protocol (based on estrogen levels) so we will assume all is well and keep on keeping on. I go back in the morning for another check. At this point I am guessing retrieval will be Thursday or Friday and I am optimistic for 8 - 12 eggs.
Right before I got called back for the ultrasound, someone who works for the same organization as me walked into the waiting room. Then as I left the lab, someone I know quite well from a volunteer board we serve on was in the waiting room. Can we say awkward? I mean, really, what do you say in a situation like that? Hi? Oh are you here for monitoring? An IUI? What are you doing the rest of the day? Nice weather isn't it? I stuck with the basic 'hi" and headed out the door. We are a pretty big metro city, and there is only one fertility clinic with 2 docs, so I guess it is bound to happen.
I've got a pretty bad headache today and am generally just feeling down. I'm sure it is because of the unknowns -- how many eggs will be retrieved? How many will fertilize? Will any of them make it to day 5?
Wishing you all a great week!

ReplyDeleteYuck - I have been a chronic headache sufferer since I was in grade school. I've finally had a break since starting IVF...and cutting out caffeine. I had no idea it was the caffeine that was causing me to suffer so much. Hope you're feeling better!
