Hi Everyone:
Just home from the clinic
1 - he didn’t count all my follicles - just said there was lots of them
2 - as usual I am stiming Slowlyyyyyyyyyyy - and I figured this wouldn’t be any different especially as estrogen priming can slow down the process a bit
3- they are measuring between 10-13mm - which means everything is growing together - and there are no lead follicles - score!!!! - the doctor wasn’t at all worried about how slowly they are growing, he’s just happy that they are growing together - which means the better chances of us getting so good nice looking mature eggs
4 - My lining is already 10.1 - which is very pleased with.
5 - Stims tonight - tomorrow - and back on Monday morning.
keep your fingers crossed for us.
Monday we’ll likely begin the centrotide and heparin injections
Hope everyone is well
If you did a EPP how long did you stim for ? - and how big were your follicles after 7 nights of stims ?
