Better news today!

joyfulnaturejoyfulnature
in TTC after 35

So, today's nurse was able to find Ms. Left Ovary. And guess what?  I still have those two follicles from the other day! Plus a smaller one, that won't be big enough by Monday. And on the right, I have two, not just one!

Translation based on size: We'll have at least one really good one on Monday, three is highly likely, and there's a potential for four.

The nurse said, "I knew you had more than just one follicle based on your estradol levels."  So there!

She also said, "This is really good for a mock cycle."  So there!

I reminded her that while it's technically a mock cycle for IVF, it's all we're doing, so it has to work!

In sum: Not bad for a 40-year-old with high FSH!!!

I trigger tonight, and we do IUI Monday morning at 8 a.m.

I simply could not have made it this far without you girls. Thanks for the support and encouragement. 

Joyful

    I really hope this works out for you!!! Two follicles is great considering all the circumstances. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Great news!  Congratulations!
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    This is terribly exciting Joyful!  I'm nervous though.  I get nervous anytime there are multiple follies for an IUI cycle.  I would have never guessed that both of mine would have taken when everything we tried prior wouldn't even get one of them.

    Good luck...this looks very promising!!!!!!!  : )

    Thanks for being "nervous" in that kinda way. Such confidence you have in my old eggies! :)

    The nurse at my RE's said they'd be "beyond thrilled" to give us twins - meaning, they don't think there's any way in heck it will happen.

    I'd be just fine with twins! :)

    That's great news!  I knew that ovary had to be there somewhere--nothing like the other nurse getting you all worried for nothing.  Best of luck with your IUI on Monday.

    Good luck.  I only had one follicle this month.  IUI is at 10:30 tomorrow.  It'll be fun to have someone to go through the 2ww wait with!!
