Bringing you up to speed.. |
Hi everyone.
I’m so very sorry for not posting yesterday. All of the early morning blood draws and appointments finally caught up with me and I was exhausted. That didn’t mean I got to rest, quite the opposite actually since S. and I had company last night which put me to bed at 11PM. Combine that with my alma mater’s game on ESPNU and yep…I was done.
So let me bring you up to speed. Yesterday’s estrogen level was 2025. I had 17 follies, up three from the 14 the day before. There were a couple very close to the magic 18mm, but not quite. My dosage was maintained at 150 ius of both Menopur and Gonal-F, and the Cetrotide this morning at 25 ius. I had an interesting development yesterday when my left arm decided it wasn’t going to play anymore. I developed a small bruise and irritation from the bandage and the arm generally wasn’t interested in producing blood. However, it’s sibling would not produce even the hint of a vein, so after some coaxing, the left arm remained my go to.
