If It Ain't One Thing… *Update*

It’s another. 

Of course I missed my call from the nurse today about my results for the day. *sigh*

I have 8 follicles on the left side, and 6 on the right.  6 of the total are over 10mm.  There were only 10 yesterday. (They are supposed to grow 2mm a day, from what my nurse said and they only measure ones over 5mm)

My estridol/estrogen levels were 404.74 yesterday and went up to 472.70.  Which she said, it didn't go up like they like to see it and if my estridol/estrogen levels go down or plateau, I will get cancelled for retrieval. 

I was worried about egg size earlier, and now i am worried about my estrogen levels.  I do start another shot tonight, Ganirelix (250mg). I will continue to stay on 4 vials (300) of menopur and 300 of the Follistim.  So still max dosage for me.  

I will keep thinking positive! If tonight you have some extra good vibes to send my way, for great estrogen, and great eggs. I would appreciate it. If anyone has been through this to, i'd love to hear what happened regardless of outcome. (Gotz to keep it real yo!) 

I got back tomorrow morning at 8:30am for my blood work and another ultrasound. 

ETA: Sorry this is sooooo long.

drink or eat soy products - they increase estrogen!

Soybean products, especially tofu, have been shown to increase estrogen levels.

T&P for big juicy eggs!!!!

I was wondering and I asked her if there was anything I could do besides the meds and she said that I was doing everything right.  Thanks!

DH just gave me the Ganitelix shot and it was harder to put in he stuck me 4 times before I had to ask him what his problem was and that he needed to get it in. (So romantic right?) I had to tell him just do it already. I feel warm at the injection site and it kinda itches.
Come on body!!

No experience, but good luck! I hope tomorrow's ultrasound goes well. Please keep us updated!

My nurse just called and my Estridol/estrogen levels went up to 746. She was pleased.  My follies all grew 1-3mm.  So I will continue with all meds as is.   *whew* 

Thank you all for the luck, positive vibes and well wishes.  Every day is a new struggle and a new worry! 

@ Mrs Castillo all i could think about was your bees when I was having my ultrasound and had to cover a laugh at one point.  Ultrasound tech today sooo serious! (Which of course makes you worry too) 

Also I am starting to feel full today, and I can feel stuff going on in there.  Work body, work and grow!

Glad I gave you some happy thoughts! I know all this crap is so stressful. It's nice to think about some fertility bees for a change :P 

Hooray for some good news!
