Technically, the doctor's office wasn't open today (because of the holiday), but because there were women that had to have scans done, a couple nurses came in for a few hours to get everyone done. I was kind of worried there would be a long wait since they told everyone who needed to be seen to come in at 7:45, but I ended up being quite impressed with how quickly I was able to get in and out of there. I was first in line to get my labs done and I only had to wait like 5 minutes in the waiting room before going in for my ultrasound.
During my ultrasound, they found 6 follicles in my right ovary and 11 in my left. 17 follies? Not bad! They measured kind of small, which my nurse said wasn't bad, it just meant they weren't quite ready yet. We decided to change my Monday ultrasound appointment to Tuesday, when she thinks they should be more ready. That means the retrieval will probably end up being next Thursday or Friday.
Nurse Marci called me later in the morning to inform me that my estradiol levels are looking great. At this point they want them around 600 and mine were 783, which I guess is good! This was a relief after hearing on Tuesday that they were still slightly low. I was instructed to continue my shots as is for today and tomorrow. Then starting on Sunday, I will start taking smaller doses of the Menopur, Gonal-F, and HCG.
So, it seems like we're on track with everything. This time next week, I should be recovering from my retrieval surgery! I'm really excited!
Glad to hear righty decided to make an appearance at this ultrasound. Maybe you'll get to have your 2nd surgery on my birthday--you can name your child Lisa after me--that can be my present. :) Teeheehee
