Freaking out a little.

Tonight is the night of my trigger. I did not get cancelled! I am beyond thrilled. Somehow, when I went in today I had 6 follies at 13mm on the right. I had like 10 follies at 13mm on the left but I also had 2 big beautiful ladies. One at 18mm and one at 21mm. I had to wait for my bloodwork to come back, but I got the call and I am a go for tonight's trigger!! I have no idea what my E2 level was but I don't even care!

I am a little excited and a lot nervous. This is really happening, and I can't believe it. I am so happy but scared. I am scared that it won't work, but at the same time I am scared that it will work. I've wanted this for so long, and I got so used to getting nowhere with my treatments that I didn't even really think about this moment. This may be my last day as a non-pregnant woman. Even though we've tried for over 18 months, I always felt that I wasn't ovulating so this is going to be the first time I've ovulated in that time and the first time I might truely and honestly get pregnant. Wow...

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...
