Day 8 scan today, I was so nervous. My Other Half just couldn't juggle his work commitments to be there, so my fabulous friend J came along. She had her instructions to write down the measurements of the follicles when the nurse read them out. Well, I had to be optimistic that there would be follicles to measure.
Turns out, things were ok. In fact very similar to my Day 8 scan on #2. My lining was better, 6.5 this time (so 13 as they are measured in halves). The only strange thing was my right ovary is just not interested, only 2 follicles this time. Anyway here are the stats:
L - 14 x11
L - 12 x 12
L - 12 x 12
L - 12 x 11
L - 11 x 11
L - 11 x 10
L - 11 x 9
L - 10 x 8
L - 8 x 8
L - 7 x 4
R - 12 x 11
R - 5
In fact, I think I am being a bit cautious but I have a feeling that it's slightly better than last time, perhaps you can let me know what you think? I would be happy with 6 eggs, like last time...anything more I would be over the moon.
So back on Saturday for the next scan, and retrieval either next Tues or Weds.
Hurdle 1 over.

That looks like a great list to me. It is only now that I can appreciate how scary these scan really are!
How nice of your friend to go along with you.
Hope you are feeling more relaxed now that the scan has shown things are moving along well.
6 nice eggs sounds good to me too xx
Looking good Becks! Youve got all my hopes and best wishes with you through this whole cycle!!
Those little ones could definitely catch up, Becks. I think the list looks really good!
That looks great to me. They all seem much larger than last time, plus even though rightie isn't really cooperating, leftie is all over it! Can't wait to hear how things are progressing by Saturday.
Looks great Becks! I'm know how you feel, I'd love to get 6.
Are you counting day 8 of stims or day 8 of your cycle? Just curious.
Keep on keepin' on!
That is a great result. You should get at least 6. You must be happy.
Well done.
you just taught me something new... i didn't know the lining was measured in halves. How about that?! thanks for your comments on my blog. I somehow skipped getting you on my bloglines thingie for like a month until I typed in your blog name & saw you were still blogging. howdy
Wow, like I said to Amy, you guys get great info and your list looks great. I'm stuck in bloodwork only and no details until ultrasound, which will probably happen this weekend, but thinking good thoughts for getting you to retrieval with that same big long list!
That looks good to me, Becks! Hopefully they'll continue to grow strong! I've got everything crossed for a this cycle and a wonderful holiday gift for you.
Looks great Becks!
fantastic!!! i think you have a great shot at 8, and plenty of time for a few others to catch up. good luck!!!
I was just thinking about you today and wondering how the cycle was going. Thanks for the update! It all sounds very positive to me. I'm optimistic for you!
That list looks FABULOUS to me my dear! I am over the moon for you my friend!
Hey Becks - I stopped the dhea just before retrieval. It was probably the night before because I'd been taking it at night. I didn't take it after retrieval since the idea was to boost the eggs themselves. I didn't think it would do anything for embryos. Plus it was doing a number on my skin so I was very happy to be done with it. Hope that helps!!
Sounds like a great cycle! Good luck to you!!!
Sounds pretty (re)productive to me!
Looks great to me Becks!! Can't wait to hear the next update, looks like the DHEA is working for you, should tell my Dr that there is proof in blogland!!!
Looks like you'll get a handfull out of that lot, hoping for lots for you, you real close now sweetie!!!
It looks like a great list of follies. Hope everything continues to grow and grow. Best of luck!
Thanks for all the good wishes -- and the same to you! You haven't posted, so I'm well-wishing here.
Hoping this all goes smoothly for both of us and that the outcome is what we all want!
great follie report!
Just waving from another December IVF cycle sista.
