Slowly But Surely July 18, 2005
This morning’s appointment brought more good news on the lining front. It’s up to 8.9mm now. To say I’m happy about this would be an understatement.
Things in follicle land are moving along, but they’re doing so very slowly. That seems to be the theme this cycle. I have 8 follicles measuring greater than 10mm, with the largest being 15.7, and 9 more measuring less than 10. My E2 came back at 744, so it’s slowly making its way up there, too. I go back on Wednesday for another check.
I think the folks over at Freedom Drug are getting to know me pretty well. I keep calling them every couple of days to order more meds. I just got off the phone from doing so again. This crap is adding up. A slow stim is fine, but when it costs almost $250 for each additional day, I’m sure my checkbook would just assume things get moving.
So, retrieval will be Friday at the earliest. I think Saturday is much more likely, though. Until then I’m just going to hope that things continue to move forward. Even if they do so at their own pace.

GREAT lining! Awesome!
Here’s hoping slow and steady pays off… things really sound encouraging!
Sounds like great news. My fingers will be crossed for you on Fri/Sat.
Great news, Amanda!
Amanda,
Just checking in on you (and trying to locate your old posts about Beta 3 integrin testing since a new RE just recommended that to me).
I’m glad things seem to be moving along okay now!
Staci
Staci- Just scroll down the page a little bit and type “integrin” into the search box. It will pull up all of my old posts where I blogged about that.
Slow but steady is good, even if it is a wee bit expensive.
Best of luck for good increases this week!
That is awesome news Amanda. There’s nothing wrong with slowly but surely except that your account will be empty by the time surely arrives.
Still have everything crossed over here.
Hey, I’m focusing on the “surely” part, not the “slowly.” Hang in there!
Glad the lining is so good! I hope things keep going well!
Whew. I’m liking the good news, I’m liking it.
Fingers still tightly crossed over here.
Hang in there amanda, it sounds as if things are on the up.
Woo Hoo for you! Glad to hear things are going well.
Great news Amanda - fingers crossed!
