Things are still progressing well. My right ovary seems to be fully on the program now, with about 9 measurable follies over 10mm, with about 6 between 15-18mm. Those are growing at the expected pace of 1mm/day. The left ovary is clearly riding on the short bus, it has about 5 measurable follies over 10mm, but only 2 at 14-15mm. And it is growing at about half the pace of what's expected. So I'm hoping to trigger tomorrow (please!) and we'll have more good righties, and less lefties. Last time I was concerned they pushed me an extra day in hopes of getting the slow pokes to catch up, and I think I had some over-mature follies. So if the right reaches decent size tomorrow, I'm ready for a Saturday ER. E2 was at 1838 today, so that is also progressing well.
But all is not sunshine and butterflies around here. Starting late yesterday afternoon, I started feeling queasy. I made dinner (lots of protein and veggies, as I've been having for the last week) but I could barely eat it, it made me gag. Into the trash. Then the back end kicked in, and I've had the "runs" since last night. Ugh, bad, gut-spasm "runs". The nurse did not seem concerned today, just to keep my liquids up. Given my E2 is not that high, it couldn't be OHSS, so it's likely a little bug I picked up at the movie theater (I saw "Nine" yesterday, which was shiny but sorta lame). All I've had today was weak chamomile tea with honey, a few bites of plain white rice and some cran-grape juice mixed with water. Blech, I got the serious queasies going on.
But I can live through it, only a few more days here. A few more days til Mr. P can take care of me, a few more days of this cycle. I'm in the home stretch, and given how this time last week I was not even sure I'd make it to ER, I am happy to be here now. Queasy and all.

Sorry about the queasiness but it sound like the stimming is going strong and steady. E2 number looks fab and I hope you get some mighty fine eggs in just a few days!
ReplyDeleteUgh - not good. Sounds like the film was NOT worth it. Plain toast is good too --
ReplyDeleteHope a good sleep helps.
Oh no! Sorry you're not feeling well, but great news about your follies! Hang in there til Mr. P arrives!
ReplyDeletesorry your feeling off, but SO pleased that those ovaries (well the right one at least) are picking up their game. I am crossing everything that you get a good number of fabulous eggs on Saturday. Its so close now!!!! x x
ReplyDeletePS - thanks for answering my Saizen question, I am definately going to look into that option more.....
Sorry you are feeling like cr*p! I hope it improves quickly.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the stimming is progressing well now.
I hope you feel better soon! And I hope you trigger soon too--I know that waiting for it can get annoying after a while. Hooray for good growth!
ReplyDeleteGo ovaries! Sound like they're doing well. Hope you get fantastic results at retrieval!
ReplyDeleteBoo for feeling so yucky, but yay for all the follies! That's awesome! Hope you feel much better, and you get your happy trigger!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Maddy
Hope you start feeling better soon.. hang in there..
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad you are feeling icky. I hate that kind of "sick". I'm glad your follies are growing nicely and that your E2 is climbing steadily. Let's cheer for a Saturday ER! And hang in there, Mr. P will be there soon to take care of you and hang out.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling MUCH better today, Pie! A stomach bug on top of large, painful ovaries is the last thing you need!
ReplyDeleteKeep us updated!
So sorry you're having a rough time, hope you feel better & the rest of your treatment cycle goes smoothly. Thank you for your kind words earlier, it means a lot to know I'm not alone in this journey:)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your transfer and I pray for strong sticky babies.
