First Follie Check Update

So, I had my first follie check on Sunday morning and it didn't go as well as I had hoped. I had one follie on the right that looked like it was *trying* to take the lead but was still only 8mm after 5 days of stims. The rest on both sides were unmeasurable. I am bummed. However, I'm still trying really hard to be positive. At least one is trying to advance right? Plus, I was so worried about overstimming, but obviously that's not my problem, at least right now. For the more science-y readers, my E2 at the baseline was 39 and on SUnday it was 55, not as high as they'd like to see. So they increased my dose to 75IU and I'll go back on Weds. for another check-up. My lining was great though, it was a triple stripe, grade 1 at 8mm already.

Brad went with me to the u/s and he was so funny after we left. He said that the only follie that he could see was the 8mm and I explained that about 18mm was mature. His response was "Oh my God, that's huge!! I thought the 8mm already looked really big!" He also said that "Triple Stripe" sounds like a beer. Men...
