Dr Visit 1

Today was the first of many checks on my follicles that are growing my eggs on my ovaries. I got up super early for an appointment at 8 am at ORM. It was a lot busier then I thought it would be. Apparently the weekends are just as busy as during the week! But I guess cycles wait for no one. :)
The ultrasound technician did the vaginal ultrasound and counted the the follicles and measured them. I have 14 on the left and 8 on the right! She said that was a good number, and that there were some that will grow that she hasn't seen yet. They measured a good size and so all is well. I'm doing the drugs right! I then got my blood drawn again to measure my estrogen. They called and gave me the results just a few hours later and let me know its looking good and they are going to keep me on the same dose of Menopure (thank heavens, that one hurts!) and they are upping the follistem by 30%. Fun fun... this means I will need to get to the pharmacy after my next visit to get some more..
Kindof a weird sunday.. It's stake conference and the kids tend to be way too wild for a two hour meeting and so Aaron and I trade off for who gets to go. It was his turn this time. Lucky Duck :)
Oh another weird thing happened today. When I got in the van this morning to go to the appt, I heard my dr. Dr. Barbieri on the radio! She was doing an interview (obviously prerecorded) but it was cool to hear her voice and have her talk about the success of the clinic and why she loves doing what she does. Its was cool to be headed there with confidence.
I've been feeling crampy, big headaches and I have to pee all the time because of growing pressure, and because I need to drink lots of fluids to prevent hyerstemulation. I'm worried about bending or twisting.. my nurse told me that if I do a lot of jostling the Fallopian tubes and become twisted with the bloated ovaries on the ends loosing blood flow...  so I sit and type...
But overall.. A good day :)
