I know - very original title, isn't it?
I am exhausted. I didn't sleep much last night for a bunch of reasons. First, we had lots of thunderstorms during the night. It seemed to me as soon as one slowed down enough to let me fall asleep again, another one started back up just about the time I was falling into that very needed "REM" zone. And, of course I was nervous about this morning's ultrasound and what it would reveal. Lastly, I think (though I may be imagining) the Foll*stim is making me more tired than usual.
So. This morning. Things looked good. From what I could remember of the u/s tech barking out measurements, I had 4 good follicles working per ovary. One 13, one 12, a handful of 11s and a 10. Plus a number of under 10s - I'm hoping a couple of those decide to get in on the party!
Anyway, E2 was 780. Which I assume is good - though I have not consulted Dr. Google. Another 300 iu of Foll*stim tonight, followed by u/s and blood work again tomorrow. Apparently they think they will add the Ant*gon to my protocol tomorrow night, but want the follicles to grow a tad more before they do.
Here's to the joy of getting up tomorrow at 5:15 again!
I feel somewhat hopeful - but not the least bit of excitement. I have been waiting for that feeling to kick in and maybe take over some of the fear that is in there - but I definitely haven't gotten to that point yet.
I seem to remember the nurse telling me Antagon would only be 4-5 days so I guess we are still on track for a retrieval sometime this weekend. I wish I could also get myself more comfortable with all the ambiguity that comes with cycling. I am such a planner, such a control freak - that not having a schedule is tough for me. I am trying to let go of that a little. Try, try, try.
Stay tuned!
