Today was my second dr. visit checkup for measuring follicles and blood work. I took a picture with my phone of the ultrasound. This is the right side now measuring 10 follicles and they're looking good I'd say! She said they are exactly where they need to be, not growing too quick. My left side has 16! So that's great news. We've let the kids in on the secret, so they can understand why mommy is feeling yucky, and grumpy a bit. I showed them this picture and explained that the doctors are helping me grow eggs inside my belly so we can have a baby. They got all excited. Egan later said as I was putting him to bed tonight. "What are they going to do with the eggs?" I said they will mix part of Daddy and Mommy's Eggs together to make a teeny baby and then put them back inside mommy to grow. His eyes got so big and said "I hope Daddy doesn't get hurt!" I laughed. "Nope, Daddy wont feel a thing." LOL
My blood work came back just right today too. On Sunday my estrogen was at 90, a little low, so that's why they upped the follistem. Today it measured at over 300! Right on track... but boy do I feel it. Emotional is not a word strong enough to describe it.
Last night I went to target to get myself a pair of yoga pants that I can wear for better comfort for my appointments. I'm feeling very bloated in the area, and just want to keep things loose. I love having an excuse to wear pj type clothes!
Because they upped my follistem dosage I needed to go to the pharmacy to pick up another vile of follistem. This teeny vile is about the size of my pinky, fits inside a syringe pen, and is only about 1/2 full of medicine. But the thing is around $300. Once again today I was humbled and so very thankful for the amazing generosity of a special someone whom I will never be able to thank...
My next appointment is Thursday... Same time in the morning. Hope all continues to go well!
