Follie Scan #2

My second follie scan was this morning (after 5 nights of stims) and I made sure to ask for more details this time. Not that it means a whole lot to me right now (and I won't have my E2 results until later) but I just needed some reassurance that something was happening in there - and that I didn't shut down the factory with my mishap on Saturday night. To be honest, so far I feel exactly like I do every cycle. I wonder if the pain I always feel is really related to my endo or if I just have strong ovulation pain. Who knows?

Anyway, here are the results of my scan:

Right Side: 14.8, 12.7,12.6,10.3,9.5,8.9,8.5
Left Side: 10.6, 10.3, 9.4, 9.1, 8.1, 7.8, 6.6, 6.3, 6.0, 6.0
Lining: 7.2 mm (up from 3.4 and then 6.0)

So that's 17 measurable follicles. I guess I'm okay with that. More would be great, but I know that it could be much worse too. The nurse said that I will most likely stay on the same dose of my meds to allow all of those 12's, 10's, and 9's try to catch up to the lead follicle. I had to buy more Gonal-F, but at least that's the one I get at 50% off. The nurse also guessed that we would trigger on Thursday or Friday night for a weekend retrieval. That would be nice since I wouldn't have to take and I'd have plenty of time to rest.

In typical roller coaster fashion, last night's injection went totally fine. It's ridiculous how I can be so crazy one night and so completely relaxed the next. Hopefully tonight will go okay. I can't believe that I probably have less than a week left of injections. Even though I'm nervous about the next stage, I am so ready for this part to be over!
