Return to Normalcy (Or as Close as Possible) September 9, 2004
Yes, I realize nothing about IVF is “normal”, but today should be a much less interesting day than yesterday, and that’s a good thing. I’m just taking it easy and waiting for tomorrow’s appointment. I got a message from my IVF coordinator yesterday afternoon. She said that my RE had reviewed my ultrasound and bloodwork results and that everything looked good, so I’m staying on the same dose of Gonal-F for now. She didn’t leave me my E2 number, though, so I’ll have to get that when I go back in the morning.
I’m definitely feeling my ovaries in action. I started feeling them pretty quickly after starting stims. At that point I thought it was neat. Now I’m just uncomfortable. I can’t imagine what I’ll feel like by the time I get to retrieval. I just have to remind myself that it just means that things are working in there. At least I hope that’s what it means.
So, I guess things are finally happening. I have to say that the suppression phase seemed to drag on forever. Three weeks on birth control pills and two weeks on Lupron was plenty. It’s good to see that something’s coming from all of this.
