Almost the end

I'm so excited for the end and mostly not just because it's the end but because I NEED SLEEP. Getting up at 3am every day to drive to Bethesda is so incredibly exhausting. I can't even begin to describe the kind of tired I feel.

Enough of how tired I am and for an update. On Friday my E2 was 1550. They called and dropped the Gonal-f which was no surprise there. Yesterday my E2 was 2296 which is almost exactly where it was at this point in the cycle back in July. So we're still on track the issue in July was that Day 9 which is today my E2 dropped from 2300ish back down to 2000. A drop is never good and like I've said before dropping the Menopur on day 8 in July was the worst decision because my ovaries stopped responding. They are HIGHLY LH dependent. So we're over that hump and my E2 should have continued to rise but hopefully not too much. The hope is that by stopping the Gonal-f my body will be a little more stable and go with the natural rise and fall instead of crash like it did before. So far so good. Yesterday I had 36 follicles (OUCH!!!!) measuring between 12-17mm with most being around 14/15. Today I have the same number with maybe a few really small ones hiding but they are now measuring between 14 - 19mm with most being around 15/16. Perfect growth of 1-2 mm per day. YAY!!! My body does something right!. Oh and more awesome news. My lining is an 11a. BEST NEWS EVER. Since our issue was that our embryo did not implant last time I have been paying close attention to my lining. It topped out at 9b last time. Bare minimum to continue to transfer is an 8b. I was cutting it close so having an 11a at the same exact time frame as before makes me feel awesome.

Day 9 was my trigger day in July so getting past this day with good follicles and E2 levels is a MAJOR accomplishment. Hopefully my E2 doesn't spike up but I won't be surprised if it does. We just need it to stay below 4000. My guess it that I will trigger tomorrow. The doctor said maybe even push it to trigger on Tuesday but that is only if my E2 remains low. Triggering Tuesday would be awesome because then my follicles will be even bigger but that is kind of a long shot.

Things finally seem to be on the right track. If we take out that huge scare we had after Dr. Divine I would be extremely happy with how things are going. I'm anxious to see how my numbers looked today. If those look good I think I will finally be feeling pretty confident about this cycle.

Thank you all for the support. I have had so many people check in since "going public" with our blog on facebook. We had over 400 views on the blog in less than 8 hours after posting. I've also had a few of my high school and college friends come to me and say they also are having trouble. I'm happy to know that maybe I helped someone else by sharing our personal experience with it.

Now I need to go rest some more and get ready for another appointment and work tomorrow. Wish us luck and I will update soon.
