So I had my first follicle check this morning bright and early at 6am. Right now, I’m on 150iu of Gonal F and 75iu of burny Menopur. I feel pretty normal, a little dizzy right after injections and I’ve been sleeping like a champ, it’s awesome! No other symptoms but I’m on 3 days of shots in so…
The tech said I have a bunch of little ones and she was smiling so that was good. I was on lunch when the nurse called so couldn’t write everything down. Let’s see if my old battered brain can remember what she said.
So, my estradiol is at 104, I have 5 on my left and 4 on my right but I don’t remember the sizes (shocking). They’re upping my meds to 225iu of Gonal F and 150iu of Menopur until my next check on Friday.
*** I wrote the above yesterday… Here’s the rest after taking the first increased dosage ***
The increased dosage I took like a champ. It’s starting to get easier. Still no symptoms just headaches I guess, but I always have random headaches. I can feel stuff on my left and right side on and off but I am starting to freak out a little.
Anyway, so I have to refill my prescription, obviously, since I’ll run out of Menopur on Saturday. I’m on the phone with the insurance and as we stand now, they have my order but have to put approve it first. It’s extremely time sensitive and I’m on tenterhooks right now and can’t really concentrate on anything else and we’re pretty busy at work.
Other than that, so far so good. I go back tomorrow for a second follicle check. I can’t believe how fast this is going. The 10 days of stimulation will be over on Tuesday. Really? This is nuts, guys.
Tales of a 30 Year Old Nothing 
It flies, right? I just had my retrieval this morning. You’re doing great. Excited for you. 🙂
Oh wonderful! How did it go? It’s going so quickly. I haven’t had time to fully grasp what’s going on. It’s so weird, we’ve been on this first ivf round since July (slow moving dr’s) so we’ve had ample time to mentally prepare but I’m not prepared at all. It keeps hitting me harder with every shot. haha. I’ve excited for you too!! Hope you’re resting up nicely. xx
Happy to hear things are progressing like they should be!! WOW, tuesday already?? Did they give you an idea of when to expect retrieval?
They’ll probably tell me tomorrow after the next scan, if not then I’ll ask. Thank you very much. It’s like really real now 🙂
How exciting!!
Glad things are going smoothly! So exciting that the stim stage is almost over for you. Also, major score that you not having many side effects. I hope I’m like that, too!
Thank you so much! I hope the no symptoms isn’t a bad thing though. But if it’s a good thing then I hope you don’t have symptoms either! xx
