I'm not really sure where I am in my cycle, but my nurse went ahead and had me go in for my baseline bloodwork and ultrasound. I felt very hormonal and tired yesterday afternoon. I finally had "full flow" at 4:30 pm
I arrived this morning without orders from my nurse so luckily because I'm a fixture in their office, they let me move forward without the paperwork.
For those of you having your initial bw/us at another clinic, don't make the same mistake I did and not ask for your orders to be sent to you via email the day before your appointment.
Baseline Ultrasound
Endometrium 6.97
Measured follicles on both ovaries: 7
The largest follicle they read was a 9. I had 3 follicles reading at 12mm during my baseline ultrasound from a previous IVF.
The good news is I didn't have a dominant follicle or a cyst. The bad news is I had 9 resting follicles last time and this time I only had 7.
My Estrogen was high at 177. You want it at 60 or below. Mine is high because I've been taking 2mg of estrogen daily. I will stop taking estrogen today and will get my body ready to begin stimming tomorrow.
Phew... so many variables to think about. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear the numbers! Try not to stress on the follies number. I am sure more will present themselves or were hiding and hope you will get more than the 7 they discovered. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGood luck moving forward. Don't worry about 'losing' two eggs this cycle. These 7 will be stronger than the other 9. And thanks for your thoughts on my blog about telling parts of the family. Close ones know. I will tell her in time.
