Trucking Along

These follies are growing slow! My RE keeps telling me that its common with the protocol I'm on and that all my follies are close together which is awesome. I guess Gani.relix will slow the largest ones down. Apparently my ovaries are kicking this cycle, which was nice to hear. I've got 15 around 17-18 and 9 right behind at 15-16. I'm going for another appointment tomorrow to see where we are at. At the earliest retrieval will be Thursday but it's looking more likely that it will be Friday.

Wanted to send a congrats to my fellow BT'er Stinky who found out today that she had a healthy embryo to transfer and is now PUPO!

  2. It seems like you are on the Estrogen Priming Protocol, and if so, I did that as well. And boy was it slow long haul. I stimmed for 14 days which is the max they let you stim. I also responded very well to it, for my age anyway (40+), but nowhere near your count which is awesome! So, hang in there.

    BTW -- do you find the Ganirelex needles dull? I had a difficult time sticking those in, never had issues with the other stims. Just curious.

  3. That is a wonderful number! It may be a long, slow, stim but it sounds like it is going to be worth it. :)

    Good luck, stinky!!!! Sticky thoughts!

  4. @Sunflower--They are awful. It gives me welts for an hour or two afterwards and swells something crazy.
    @Chickenpig--I hope so!
