Last night, I prepared both shots and decided to start out with the Menopur to get it over with. I even did it while Michael was awake and sat at the table. After I started the injection, I started seeing stars and getting really hot. Michael had to bring me water. I stuck with it (no pun intended) - I think I just freaked myself out. I don't know. I started thinking it was the meds. I was planning to ask a nurse about it today when I went in for bloodwork and ultrasound, but that's a whole other story. The good news is that I was totally fine with the shots tonight. (Even with Michael yelling during the Auburn game.) I think I need to do the Follistim first to get "warmed up".
Okay - so this morning I go in for bloodwork and ultrasound. They leave me sitting pantsless in the exam room for no less than 20 minutes. Different people would come in - be surprised that I was in there, and say something like - I'll let them know you're here. So finally, this ultrasound technician comes in, acts surprised and then just gets started. I've always had a doctor or nurse in addition to the tech, but I just figured they'd come in. They didn't. And the tech didn't tell me anything. The only thing I managed to get out of her was that I had 2 follicles on each side somewhere around 11 mm. So, I was going to ask the nurse who called with my bloodwork results - but she called when we ran to the grocery store (of course). Her message said my estrogen level was good and to continue my dosage and come back in on Monday AM.
That probably all sounds fine to you, but I'm feeling very frustrated right now. 4 follicles is not enough for an IVF cycle. If I don't produce some more good ones, they'll either cancel this cycle or convert it to another IUI. I doubt they'll do the IUI because with 4 good follicles, that means there's a chance (albeit slim) that I'll get pregnant with quads. And I think I'm frustrated that I couldn't talk to anyone about all this today.
So, please root for more follies! I hope Monday shows some more good ones. Fingers crossed!
