New~ Hi!

krbjoy

So, I've been going through all of this with no one really to talk to but DH. He's great, but, you know. Sometimes you need to talk to people who are going through the same thing to really feel supported. Glad to be here. Have been learning a lot from this board, and feels great to know I'm not alone. If I can help anyone work through this, I'd feel privileged. 

I'm pretty deep into this cycle. On D13 (lucky?). Bruised and feeling like a pin cushion. So, yesterday my ultrasound showed left ovary: 14,10,10, 10,10.5 6<10. Right ovary: a few <10. My E2 had shot up so my doses went down. Had to go back today since E2 was so high. Left ovary: 18, 16, 14, 14, 12, 12, 11 5<10. Right ovary: not responding. All <10. E2 stabilized. WootWoot! Going back on Monday and pretty sure I will be triggering. I'm a bit nervous, but very excited. If anyone has some tips, or warnings at this phase, I'd love to hear it! 

Sorry for the long winded intro.

I don't really have any tips or anything for you, but I just wanted to say good luck! I never know my follicle sizes, but from what I've read on these boards throughout the last few months, it seems you should have at least one good one! Sending positive vibes your way!

Thanks so much for your reply. I think I will have a few good ones to retrieve.

Not sure what happened to the rest of my comment, but I wish all the best for you on your journey!

@krbjoy you're not alone  I hear ya, DH is very understanding but sometimes it is nice to chat with ladies going through this.  I feel like I am still on in the early stages of the infertility struggle but already have felt a huge weight lifted by talking things out on here and with other friends.  Best of luck this cycle!

@aera11 Thanks for the well wishes. I will have my eggs retrieved tomorrow! Hoping for big mature eggies that will fertilize!  

I wish I had been involved in this board from the beginning of my journey. Would have helped a lot. I have my FX for your success!

Good luck! By the way, with my first post, I didn't know you were doing IVF. I just thought you were responding very well for either timed intercourse or IUI. I hope I didn't cause any distress by my "one follie" comment! I'm glad everything is going well and wish you the best!

@riveridgional Oh, no worries! I mean, you weren't wrong about the one good one. I had a chance to grow for a few more days after that and now have quite a few over 18 and a few pretty close. I triggered last night and surprisingly feel ok. Was worried about how that shot would make me feel. Now I just have to some how focus on work and try real hard not to obsess about what will happen tomorrow. Eeeeeek! Thanks again for the well wishes! I wish you all the luck in your journey!
