I was nervous to see whether or not my good luck would continue, but there was no need. Everything still looks great. My left side isn't being sluggish at all either! Check it out (Yes, I made a table. What of it? I love data.):
Left Side: 12.3, 12.2, 11.6, 11.2, 10.8, 10.4, 10.1, 9.4, 8.9, 7.8, 5.1
Right Side: 11.8, 11.2, 11.1, 10.2, 10.1, 9.6, 9.4, 9.1, 8.9, 7.9, 7.4

My clinic triggers when your lead follicles are in the 16-20 mm range. On day 6 of IVF #1, I only had 5 follicles that were within 4 mm of the lead. This time I have 19! I feel like this is a big improvement and I'm happy that we are either having a lucky cycle or found a way to jump this hurdle (by switching to the antagonist protocol). I know that we still have a long way to go - there are so many things that could still go wrong - but I'm trying not to think too far ahead. One step at a time. It feels good to be happy and hopeful about something for now. It's helping me keep my nerves in check.
I'll get my instructions and details for my next scan this afternoon!
IVF #2 Progress Report

My, what a fancy table! haha! <3 you. So glad you had another good scan and that the follies for this IVF look better than last time!!
ReplyDeleteGlad I clicked your blog from The Bump. My husband and I are on IVF #1 and will probably do the retrieval Thursday. After a rocky start with my estrogen (and having to reorder more Gonal-F three times - pricey!!) things seem to be going well. My Dr. triggers at 18-22 mm, and I have one that is 19 mm and several right behind, so it's looking good for us this cycle, as far as eggs as the nurse said we have about 14 or so follicles to work with. I had no idea what to expect (we skipped IUI) and things have been pleasantly OK.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you and I'll keep following your blog!
Thank you! It sounds like you are in great shape - good luck with your ER and the rest of your cycle!
