Friday the 13th...not so lucky for me

winidpuwinidpu
in TTC after 35
Had my 7 day u/s and blood work today. Not sure why I set myself up for this but I really really thought it would be better. Nothing on the right and 4 on the left. 16, 10, 7 and 3. Not horrible but could have been better. I am trying to remain optimistic but I have to say I've not been doing a good job of it! I know it only takes one and I keep saying that to myself. I will have another u/s on Sunday and then trigger that same day. Retrieval will be Tuesday. I am so hoping there is some growth in that third follicle. Crossing my fingers and toes!

    Follie growth vibes coming your way.  Sorry you don't have as many as you had hoped -- but I hope the ones they do retrieve are superstars.

    My right ovary is totally a dud as well and never has any!

    You will be OK.  There is definitely time for the 3rd to kick it into gear. Are you starting ganirelix or cetrotide to keep the 16 at bay?

     Wishing you tons of luck. I know the disappointment you are feeling right now too well. But such is the pain of being DOR.   You are going for quality and not quantity. Keep saying it!  Big hugs and here's a little helper:

    Grow follies grow!!  Hoping that Sunday brings 3 follies that might be mature.  Did they tell you what your E2 is?  I learned from somewhere, infertility board probably, that 150-200 per mature follie is about the right place to be.  Has proven correct for each of my retrievals.  Hoping that you have some rock stars, remember "it only takes one"

    Yes, so been there... but I am sending you beautiful, perfect healthy mature egg vibes!!!  ;)

     There is a little picture and handwritten note on my the wall of one of my RE's nurse's office.  It has a picture of a little baby boy, sleeping.  It says underneath:  FSH 15, 1 egg retrieved, 50,000 sperm, 1 baby boy.  It makes me cry whenever I see it.  I am hoping it inspires you the way it did for me.  :)
