Smiling

Thanks for all the wishes you made...they worked.....I am on track!!!!

Last time, on my Day 8 scan, I had 5 tiny follicles that couldn't be measured. This time, I've got the following:

R - 11 x 8
R - 13 x 8
R - 6
R - 7
L - 9 x 8
L - 11 x 9
L - 11 x 9
L - 12 x 11
L - 11 x 10
L - 5
L - 7

I guess the smaller one's may not get to the right size, but 7 measurable one's is a much better response than last time. My lining is 5mm, which they measure in half measures so at 10mm it is good (so nurse Gill told me).

I am so relieved, I know this may not mean it will work but to improve gives me hope for the future. I go back for my Day 12 scan on Sunday and if all is on track I will trigger Sunday for collection on Tuesday.

So this time, no 15 days of stims, no tears after Day 8, no more expensive drugs to buy to get me through extra days, no more extra acupuncture to pay for. Happy...that's me.

Oh, just want to say Happy Birthday to Ultimate Journey....your next one will be as a Mum!!

Yay, yay, yay!!!!! I'm so happy to hear that things are looking so much better this time. I'm sure a shorter stim period will be much easier on you (and your wallet), and while I'm not an RE I'd speculate that it bodes well for the quality of the eggs too. I can't wait to see what Sunday brings.

Great to hear the good news. Like you say, no matter what, it's hope for the future. A second round like last time would have been tough. So pleased it's better.

Yeahy!!!!!!!

I remember that stage when we were hoping that my right partial ovary was functioning. It turns out it doesnt (and is just there for show). But surprisingly enough my left ovary compinsated and they removed 20 eggs! You will be surprised what your body can do.
