2 for the price of one!

Ultrasound wands up the hoo-ha, that is.

I had a follow up appointment with my RE yesterday. She wanted to make sure my ovaries were normal after the overstim debacle last week. Lefty is doing just fine, completely back to normal size. Righty is still a little swollen but otherwise looks a-ok, all is right with the world. She sent me off to the lab for a P4 blood draw and told me she'd call me later to update me on the measurement of my lining (the sonographist didn't write it down on my file). As I was waiting in line at the lab my favorite nurse runs up and tells me to head back down to see the doctor once my blood was drawn. The sonographist didn't measure my lining. We were so busy chatting with one another - her twin girls are IVF babies from the same clinic I'm heading to next week - it slipped her mind. I'm measuring 12.6 - awesome! It looks "gorgeous" according to the doctor and the sonographist. I actually have some hope for this cycle!

I'm 7dpo today. The past 2 cycles I've started to spot 9dpo. We're having a Derby/Cinco de Mayo bash on Saturday - I should know by then whether I can partake in some mint julips/sangria or not.

I ovulated (woot!)

My temperature rise over the past few days has confirmed that I did indeed ovulate, even without the trigger. I'm pretty darn excited about that!

I'm hoping there's a fertile person deep down inside me and that our lackluster babymaking sex the past few days results in happy news two weeks from now.

I've been wicked uncomfortable the past few days. My ovaries feel like giant rocks moving around when I walk. I feel one meeeeellllion times better today, yay!

We received the packet from the Fertility Center of San Antonio yesterday. I can't believe that in TWO WEEKS we'll be talking to someone about moving forward with IVF. I'm ridiculously excited. Is that weird?

Here's a shout out to one of my best internet friends, K: Congrats on the BFP last night!

Speechless

There are 27 measurable follicles inside of me right now. Today was supposed to be the usual trip into the RE for a sono and trigger shot but my stupid, overproducing ovaries had to shake that up.

The good news is that I respond really great to the meds and thusly will be a fantastic candidate for IVF.

The bad news is that I was hoping to avoid IVF and get pregnant THIS cycle with a quick, easy IUI.

The only chance that is going to happen is if my E2 level comes back below 2000 (not likely) then we'll do the trigger at home (the idea of handing my husband a needle to shove in my hip is not appealing) and proceed with the IUI on Weds. & Thurs.

My feelings are so conflicted. On one hand I want to move forward with the trigger/IUI regardless. On the other, I don't want to endanger myself or any potential offspring. I'm so weary from waiting.

*******UPDATE*********

We've been cancelled. My E2 level is 2500.

PCOSMama - they're all above 10mm. Blah.
