Stim Day 9: 4th Monitoring Appointment

One more appointment tomorrow! Trigger likely tomorrow night. Retrieval likely on Thursday.

I had a bunch of follicles today. I stopped counting after a while. There were three at 17mm that they were really looking at, one at 21, and a bunch of potentials (like 10 maybe?) that were in the teens.

Yesterday my GonalF dose was 375, and today it's 450. I don't really understand that.

I'm really, really tired. I had a boring meeting today and it was all I could do to stay awake. The meds always have a cumulative effect on me. I can periodically feel tugs and pulls at the ole' ovaries.

I'm feeling a little more optimistic today about the whole thing.

Thanks for all of your encouraging words.

Dear Ovaries of PJ -

Thanks you for getting it together for today's appointment, and remember, if you can keep up the good work for another day or two, you get to rest for at least nine months! Sounds like a good deal, eh?

I know you'll do the right thing.

xxx,
Lorraine

Good job with the stimming PJ! I can't wait to hear about your retrieval. I almost fall asleep in staff meetings too. . . even when I'm not stimming. :)
