Early morning ultrasound after a late night out does not bode well. I did NOT feel well sitting there in the room, waiting for them to come in. And no, I hadn’t been drinking… I was eating. A bridal shower and then going out to dinner…. I ate a ton of food and oh boy did I regret that this morning. My stomach was doing backflips and gurgles and I had to sit there half-naked for over 10 minutes. Ugh. But luckily once they got in and we got started I was fine… just sitting there waiting with nothing to do but think of how bad my stomach felt wasn’t good.<\/p>\n
The “bad” news (and I say “bad” because it’s not really bad<\/i> news, it’s just not great news) is that I’m not fully baked yet, so no retrieval on tuesday (which would have been ideal for both Den and my schedules). But I have a ton of follies in there… more just keep joining the party. I don’t know the exact count because for some reason I thought they could give me a run-down afterwards, but they showed no inclination of doing so. When I asked how many she said, “33 total” but that includes a lot of small ones.<\/p>\n
I was watching intently as the ultrasound tech measured each one… I have a bunch on my left that are 15-20mm, all squashed in there, along with several at 10. On my right they average smaller, with several of them at 14-15mm, then I remember there were 9 at 10mm and about 4 or 6 less than 10. So, given my memory of events, I’d say that of the 33 half are pretty good size and half are too small. Given that last ultrasound I had 6 on my left and 8 on my right that were all 10mm, my left side has been a bit of a hog and they grew bigger, while the 8 on the right are being somewhat lazy.<\/p>\n
I also have some “free fluid” in my left ovary, I don’t know how bad that is? Between that and the bunches of big ones on my left explains why I’ve been feeling my left side but not my right. I don’t know, for some reason I thought it would be worse. Maybe it’ll get worse…. but even if it does, it won’t be horrible for more than a day or two. I guess this whole process has been a lot easier than I expected\/feared.<\/p>\n
The Dr was there and she said that she’ll call me after they get my E2 results back, but that I’ll need another day or two before trigger. I only have two days left of menopur, but she said it shouldn’t be more than that. So we’re looking at a Wednesday or Thursday egg retrieval… I’ll find out later this afternoon what day I need to go back in for another ultrasound. She also said they’ll probably be reducing my dose a little bit again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
