Ultrasound 4&5 with blood work:)

Okay so let me just say I cannot keep up with the blogging thing:) I've been trying my best, but my silly Ipad at home is not cooperating with me so I am sorry.....

So let's get everyone up to speed. I have been doing acupuncture for the last few weeks leading up to this cycle and I totally think it has helped! I had 6 follies on Wednesday of last week and when I went in Friday for u/s I had 11 that she measured and my E2 level was 498 I do believe....They said they were pleased with that and to keep on with the upped dosage of Gonal F. The upped dosage sure did it's work because Saturday I was super tired allllll day, but yesterday morning I woke up sick and exhausted. It was a gingerale, crackers and soup kinda night:( When I went in to my appt today for u/s and blood work the nurse started the follie scan and said "this is why you aren't feeling great" there were 12 follies on right and left! 12 that are measuring great and my E2 level was 1588:) I am assuming that those are good numbers because the nurse was very happy!

Bad news is she said I was at risk of getting OHSS and to stay hydrated with plenty of water and Gatorade and eat lots of protein! So I have already started that....


Here are some of my numbers from today:)

Good news is I TRIGGER tonight and RETRIEVAL is set for Wednesday @ 8:00!! Woot....I can't believe that we have come this far. I think I am still in shock, but a good shock. I am ready to be a mama(im already a stepmamma, but ready to be with child and enjoy being pregnant!) and I am just putting my trust in the Lord! It will not be long and I will be in the dreaded 2WW and I am not really looking forward to that part, but unfortunately that comes with the territory!
