Everything is a GO!

Wednesday's appointment was a little weird. From one angle, everything looked hunky dory, from another, the lining looked like a comet, with the lining as the tail and a strange blip thing at the end. It could be a polyp...could be a bit of left over lining...they have no clue. My regular RE is in Florida and isn't coming back until Monday, so the rest of the docs, interns, and a bevy of med students had an impromptu conference in the office and hallway. It looked kind of like a group of kids trying to figure out what to do when their parents are out of town. In the end, the doctor that checked me came into the room where I was sitting with the nurse and said that they decided I should proceed with the cycle as planned. Woot! So...I've started with 300 units of Gona.l F every night with a blood test on Saturday. I'll take it! 300 units seems a little high to me, though. I know I'm 41 and all, but when I did this last time when I was 37 I got over 52 follicles and touch of OHSS to go along with them. I hope that they can manage to keep me walking that fine line between stimming too slowly and not getting many eggs, and stimming too quickly and then having to slow down so that fewer eggs are mature at retrieval.

  3. Great that you can go ahead with your cycle :) I always worry about that 'fine line' but just have to trust that they know what they're doing :)) Happy stimming xoxo

  4. Yikes. 52 follicles and only a touch of OHSS. I would consider you lucky, then to not have ended up in the hospital! :) Can't wait to hear the updates.

  5. The only reason why it was slight is because my clinic stopped me from stimming after only 4 days and then coasted. I only ended up with 19 mature eggs...thankfully!
