Stim Day 9 Check

Stim  Day 9, Monitor check #2

So yesterday ( Sunday morning)  I had my second monitor check and things are good per the doctor , but I sense while good they are not great. My E2 is 2350, which is good since it almost tripled from 3 days prior but I have just 1 at 20mm; I have maybe 2 at 17, a few 15’s & 16’s but still 13’s, 14’s and quite a bit under 10. WHAT? Still under 10…Geesssshhh.  All in all I think 8-10 measurable follies for the count today.  I am trying not to freak out and worry about it. My lining is 10. I will be stimming for 2 more days  lowering the Gonal-F from 225 to 188 and upping the Menopur from 75 IU    to 150 IU     for 2 nights. I started the Cetrotide last night so I have 2 more nights to go on that one. It did not sting as I was ex  pecting from all the things I read online….it felt no different than  the Menopur that also has not stung.

My nex  t check is Tuesday 10/ 22; trigger the same day and Egg R   etrieval 10/ 24^th  this is all pending a good ultrasound Tuesday. I am PRRIAYNG that many of the follies catch up within the 2 days of additional stimming. I am fine with at least 20 follies but a minimum of 12 mature so we can work with. I know most women would want much more but 12 GOOD ones is fine with us..that is 6 tries ( if we put 2 in and if they are all good enough to freeze) I want this to work on the first go though…I would do it all over again if I had to but would prefer NOT to.  I am ready for the nex  t phase….I am ready to be pregnant and then mommy.

Today I saw  an  acquaintance I haven’t seen for 4 months and she is very pregnant and invited me and DH to her baby shower in 2 weeks….OUU   CH.   I am happy for her but my first thoughts were just great and here I still am..not pregnant…but then I thought come on follies grow…I need YOU    now more than ever to be healthy, do what you need to do inside my body , and be healthy most of all.  I guess I would feel better if  by the time she gave birth I am pregnant…please let this be true. Please let my Christmas gift to my family this year be me being healthy, and pregnant with twins.
