4th Follicle Scan

Yesterday was one long day. Sorry I didn’t post this update last night-I didn’t get home till around 7:45, I showered, ate a little, laid on the couch and watched Big Brother with one eye open…then I went to bed. I was exhausted....

My Grandmother and Grandpa went on the drive to Austin with me…I love having the company-it makes for a fast trip!!

My Dr. stated I am doing “Frighteningly well”… “What do you mean” I asked… “Your doing so well it’s scary” he stated. He is still 100% confident with how things are going. My estridiol is increasing fast, my eggs are increases the way he thinks they should be (slow to me, but he says they are looking superb--and he is the Dr. not I.)

I have TONS of eggs, so he stopped counting after he measured all of the “measurable” ones.

R-6, 6, 6, 5…
L-10, 8, 7, 6, 6, 5,…

Lining was 5.3B {can someone help me with what the ‘b’ and the ‘a’ means after the measurement? I meant to ask him, but totally forgot. For example…on CD6 my lining was 4.4A…CD9 it was 4.7 (no letter) and yesterday on CD11 it was 5.3B.}

My estrodiol blood work level is 153 (he said it increased beautifully--)

Overall I think it went great. I was advised to take 225iu last night and 150iu tonight. I go back tomorrow afternoon for another scan and go back today for ‘more’ blood work!

Thank you all for the prayers, I believe they are working!!!! :) Thank you all for the sweet messages and comments---I could thank y'all forever but I really can't express HOW much your support means to us and helps us! :)

I am so excited! Still praying! I am so sorry for everything you've had to go through. Your kids will never question your love for them.

My friend Katie and I used to say that to each other after a rough proceedure. They did IVF and last November they had a baby girl. I am so thankful things are going so well for you!
