Stim Day 8: 3rd Monitoring Appointment

Let's see. Righty had a 19.5mm. I think the biggest one two days ago was 12.5mm. How does that happen? And then there was an 18mm, a 16mm... some less than 12mm.

Lefty had a 15mm and some less than 12mm.

I was fully expecting to be concelled/converted to IUI today. So, I guess that's ok. It's still not great. That 19.5 looks kind of like a lead to me, but I guess I've got 4 to work with at least that are 15-19.5mm, and 4 is the minimum to make it to retrieval at my center. I know some of those little guys can possibly catch up. I'm thinking we might get a little batch, if we're lucky. I guess a little batch is better than no batch.

This is after 7 days of stims. I think I stimmed nine days last time. So, two more doses should do something, right? Hopefully that big one wont be overly mature though.

R.E. said I'm definitely stimming tonight and I've got an appointment tomorrow morning.

One day at a time, I guess.

That sounds good- at least, far better than what you were expecting with your last posting.
I'm sending even-growing thoughts for your follicles!

Hang in there, PJ. Hoping those little guys catch up to the bigger ones! big hugs.

I always wonder if the follicles really do grow that certain amount that the measurements show, or if there is enough variation in technique that it is all just approximate? I hope your little ones are really bigger than they seem, and the big one isn't too much ahead of it's buddies.

It's all just a wait-and-see, isn't it? Lots of crossed everythings for a good show at today's appointment!
