Not Yet February 21, 2010
I am not a patient person by nature. Today is stim day 9 which is right at the part of an IVF cycle where I start to get antsy. I triggered at this point my last fresh cycle, and I was really hoping the same would be said this time.
Not so much. Things are just moving a little more slowly this cycle. I had 16 follicles visible at this morning’s ultrasound. The largest were a trio of 16mm’s. E2 was 3153. P4 was 0.9.
So, I go back tomorrow morning for another looksee. I honestly don’t know if I’ll be ready to trigger tomorrow night. It will depend not only on how much those follicles decide to grow today, but whether or not my progesterone level stays low.
I know people love the “slow and steady,” but honestly it just irks me. I want growth! Things could obviously be much worse, though. My lining still looked lovely with it’s 10.3mm triple stripe. My follicles are grouped together well in terms of size, no one’s hogging the show or lagging too, too far behind. So, things are ok, and in IVF ok is really all you can ask for, right?
I guess I’ll just keep reminding myself of that despite my whining. I’ve gotten to the “get these darn eggs out of me” uncomfortable stage, and I’m tired. I haven’t been able to sleep past 5:00 since I started Dexamethasone, and the 2 hour jaunt over to my RE’s office thanks to the vastness that is Houston is getting old. But, I’ll keep on shooting up, keep on hopping back in my car at insane hours of the morning, and just keep on keeping on until my body decides it’s going to bless me with its readiness.
