I'd love to keep going for another 4 weeks, but those big follies are yearning for their day in the sun, so I'll be triggering tonight with ER on Wednesday. Here are the stats:
| Thursday | Saturday | Today |
| 15.5mm | 17mm | 21.5mm |
| 13mm | 16.5mm | 19mm |
| 12mm | 15.5mm | 16mm |
| 12mm | 15mm | |
| 14mm | ||
| E2 levels | ||
| 694 | 987 | 1,334 |
The powers that be like to have an E2 level of 100-200 per mature follie, and being way ahead of that gives me hope that all five follies with be mature at retrieval and I'll just pray that the 2 bigger ones don't go renegade and flee this popsicle stand on their own. I've also been having alot of pangs at my left "ovary" - or that space where my ovary supposedly would live since it's never seen on u/s. It makes me wonder if the little rotten elf has possibly come up with a follie of its own. I'm not holding my breath on that one, but it'll be an interesting science experiment to see what the attending RE says about it.
The nurse who sets up the surgical appointments at my clinic is a random one, so I didn't get the YAY call from my usual awesome nurse. But because I'm a nerd, I plan on calling her tomorrow morning -- I want to ask if my own RE will be attending on Wednesday. I really, really hope so because he knows what a "unique" case I am and I'd feel much better knowing he was treating my eggies like the rare treasures that they are. Also, I want her take on the 14/15/16mm follies and their maturity. Yea, I'm one of those patients. My nurse either doesn't mind all my questions or she's very, very good at pretending.
Trigger at 11pm tonight! That's past my bedtime, but I think I can make an exception. Don't make me watch Jay Leno, though. Please. Don't.
What's wrong with jay leno? Congrats on all of those follies. I hope the trigger and retrieval all go well.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! I hope those five follies are your ticket to a very happy (if not slightly belated) Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLook at you with your overachieving ovaries! Tell them I said Way to Go!
ReplyDeleteWahoo Lara!!!! Thats awesome news!! I hope everything goes great and maybe you even find a surprise hiding follie during ER!
ReplyDeleteYAY, opening the champagne over here! GO FOLLIES!!
ReplyDeleteHey, I've always been told at my IVFs that over 15mm is mature! So woot woot for your follies is right!! I'm SOOOO glad that this just keeps getting better. Now let's keep it up for ER, fert, ET, and beta!!!
ReplyDeleteYIPPEE!!! Wonderful numbers! I hope the old lefty has come out of retirement and can add a 6th one for you. Can't wait to hear how Wednesday goes. I'll be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they are triggering you tonight. I wish they could find ol' lefty. I'm sure there are some good ones there too. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!!! I'm so excited for you! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a super Christmas follie miracle!! :) So glad this cycle is turning out better than ever before, it's setting you up for a wonderful fert report and an awesome BFP!! :) Good luck with retrieval and I can't wait for the great fert report!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the follies! I asked the same thing, so I am one of those paitients too:). My RE said that it is completely plausible for them to be mature by the time of retrieval when I asked. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Lara!! I hope that this only means more great news with your ER, ET and BFP in a little more than 2 weeks!! I am crossing my fingers & toes for you!!
ReplyDeleteWowie wow wow!!! I'm just so thrilled for you :). Wouldn't that just take the cake if leftie came out of nowhere with a follie or two of it's own? Good luck triggering tonight! I'm thinking about you and wishing you all sorts of good luck :).
ReplyDeleteAnd haha, I agree - Jay Leno is just awful!
You are a rock star and you have rock star eggs! Yay! That is so exciting. Do you know that children's book the little engine that could? That's what I am reminded of! Oh happy day! Doing a little jumping for joy for you! Big time hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is seriously the most bestest most awesome news ever! Whoo-hoo!!!! Go Lara's follies, go!!!
ReplyDeleteHope the trigger went off without a hitch and that you weren't subjected to Leno because he blows, IMO.
Cinco de December! Corny, I know...but I don't care. I'm so happy for you! And I bet that you have 3 very mature follies at the least with those E2 levels. And the other ones will probably catch up to maturity by tomorrow. I can't believe you are going to ER tomorrow. I know it has felt like forever for you, but it seems to be flying for me. I'm so excited for your post ER report! Best of luck tomorrow and I hope trigger went well last night!
ReplyDeleteHooray Hooray!!!! I can't wait to hear your news tomorrow!!!
ReplyDeleteHot Damn!
ReplyDeleteWow, big guys! Awesome! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteWow! I am so glad that serious slow-stim coddling seems to be agreeing with your ovaries!
ReplyDeleteWow - FIVE! Yay! I'm taking this as a good sign for this cycle. Fingers crossed and sending you lots of positive thoughts!
