My appointment this morning went almost the same as it went on Tuesday. Except today I saw my doctor instead of only a nurse.
I now have at least nine follicles in my left ovary and several in my right ovary. My right ovary is harder to see on the ultrasound, so it's harder to see how many follicles are there. They measure anywhere between 12-17mm, with most of them being between 15mm and 17mm. They are looking for them to be about 20mm when they take them out. My uterine lining also looks good, they want it thick so it will support a pregnancy. My doctor estimated a retrieval date of Tuesday of next week, but I'll get a better date on Saturday when I'm there for my next appointment.
I have to get two more drugs. As if I'm not on a lot of stuff already! I'm getting a booster trigger shot that will be a booster for the trigger shot I already have and some estrogen patches that supplement the missing estrogen that isn't in this booster shot. I don't completely understand, but I do trust that I'm in good hands.
They drew blood again to check my hormone levels but they have been good so far.
Not much new, but a couple days closer to...well, let's hope, a baby.
While we were waiting I enjoyed lazy days with my mom, we figured out our new health care (!), and we continued to pray for comfort for a loved one.
