The worst is over (I hope)

I think Saturday was the worst of it. Starting Sunday, I woke up in a better mood. I took myself to the outlet mall to walk around and buy a few things. And best of all, I started to feel the ovary ache by afternoon.

This morning I had my monitoring appointment, and it went much better. We saw about 5 measurable follies on each side, right maybe a bit bigger than the left, with the largest at 14mm. So ranging in size from 9 to 14mm. I was relieved to see something measurable at all, and this was better than I hoped. Talking to the nurse, we estimated my ER would be this weekend sometime. If I were a betting girl, I'd go with Sunday. Now mind you, I was supposed to trigger tonight for ER Wednesday. So way behind, but at least not canceled. Then they took blood, and sent me on my way.

I went for an acupuncture appointment, which was so great. I swear, I love me some acupuncture. She did the electro-acupuncture on me, to really wake those ovaries up. It was so relaxing, helped me get some whiffs of zen again. I'm going again later in the week.

Then, the nurse called with my E2 - 1050! I was expecting like 800-900, after the 550 on Saturday. What a great sign! Finally, things moving in the right direction. It's like I'm back to my normal stim self, just 5 days behind. It makes me wonder, could the Sai.zen have suppressed me? After stopping that stuff, my body began to respond to the meds. Who knows, but I think it is an odd coincidence.

So I'm here for almost another week, but at least I have a chance to have a somewhat decent ER. Mr. P is coming Friday, which will be nice. I sure do miss him and my cat. But I am feeling better all around, so I can make it through another few days. I think being here without seeing progress really bummed me out. But now that things are looking up, I'm doing better. Let's keep it going, ovaries!!
