We have progress!!! I am so thrilled and relieved! My appointment this morning went very well. I have some "lead" follicles and still a ton of little ones. I have four 10mm follicles on my right ovary and three 10mm follicles on the left ovary. My lining increased to 7mm too! And my estrogen level increased from 45 to 296!!! I am so excited that things are happening.
The doctor I saw this morning said they are concerned that I have so many little follicles in each ovary (around 20 each) and want to keep my medication dose low to avoid hyper stimulation. So I will maintain my same routine of Lupron and Follistim every morning and night and go back in for another ultrasound and more blood work on Wednesday.
So far I'm feeling ok. I have begun to get a little overwhelmed with everything. It really hit me yesterday as I was remembering to take my antibiotic and reminding Joe not to forget his. It is just a lot to remember and a lot to do. I'm also starting to feel "different". I am very bloated and uncomfortable, tired and feeling very lazy. I actually took a nap yesterday. Naps for me are completely unheard of! I would be completely content laying on the couch in my pajamas. I feel like I could eat a horse and have been craving spaghetti and meatballs all day. So much so that I think I'm going to get the ingredients on my way home from work. I also feel a lot more emotional, like I could cry at the drop of a hat. I'm sure that has a lot to do with my climbing estrogen levels. But, I'm in it to win it and dealing with everything the best that I know how... stretchy pants, lots of water and snacks, and I'm not afraid to cry if I want to. Stay tuned for Wednesday's update!

You and Joe are true troopers to be going through all of this and keeping up with it all-- I can't even remember to take three pills everyday and they are in a pill box thing marked with the days of the week------if you need someone to let you relax and rub your feet I can do that for you---your sisters seemed to enjoy it --- I'm glad you got a good report today and look forward to Wed update....xoxoxoxo Mom
