11/7 - Start AF, start BC
11/17 - Start Lupron 10units
11/21 - end BC
11/24 - Day 1
11/26 - Day 3 bloodwork/ultrasound & start 5units Lupron, 150 Menopur (2 vials), 150 Follistim
11/29 - Day 6 b/w & u/s. Meds stay the same. 14 on the left, 25 on the right.
12/1 - Day 8 the Doc said I was "plentiful." As usual, I will take what I can get compliment-wise.
12/3 - Day 10 - my biggest follie is 14. Change prescription to one Menopur and have to return tomorrow.
12/4 - Day 11 - I'm on the "daily plan," whoop whoop. I have a few eggs at 16, but the rest are all smaller. They believe my retrieval will be Saturday and they also think that given the amount of follicles, I may need to prep myself for OHSS. Booooo. OHSS will mean that I have a chance of freezing all eggs for a future FET. Double booo. Crossing my fingers for a happy outcome...that does not include cantalope sized ovaries and gallons of Gatorade ingestion.
12/5 - Day 12 - Giving blood was not fun today. Instead of a "pinch," I most definitely felt a "stab." As far as follicles go, I think I have a lot in there, but I think there is only 1 18mm one and all the rest are 16 and under. I'm getting sooooo nervous.
12/6 - Day 13 - I trigger tonight!!! My biggest follicle was 24, which seems like a lot for it to grow overnight. I also had 2 20's, 2 19's, a few 18's and a lot less than that. I HOPE THIS WORKS!!!
updated to add: estrogen at 5399 - high
12/7 - 2am - trigger with 1 Ovidrel shot.
6am - B/w & u/s AGAIN. Luckily, they were able to take blood from my left arm for once, so that was a pleasant surprise. Still some fluid in my lining but lots of egg as well. Not sure on Estrogen level yet. will post later...
12/8 - Retrieval Day!!! They retrieve 31 eggs.
12/9 - We are told that 20 have fertilized normally without the need for ICSI.
12/13 - Find out that the embryos are running a day behind schedule. 4 day 5 blasts are frozen for an upcoming FET in Feb (unless something opens sooner).
