Today I had my second blood test and scan.
No kid sized needle for me today - my veins decided to cooperate.
My follicles are developing nicely. There were even 4 new ones that were big enough to measure this morning, so I now have at least 13 growing. My tummy is starting to feel quite tender from all the injections and also quite full - full of follicles!
I had a different Dr today who did things much slower, meaning I had time to take in what was happening and ask questions. It was far more informative and interesting that Saturdays scan.
On the left side I have 7 folicles - 17mm, 16mm, 20mm, 16mm, 15mm, 13mm, 13mm
On the right side I have 6 folicles - 18mm, 17mm, 17mm, 15mm, 14mm, 13mm
I should have asked to take my phone in so I could get a photo of the scan, but I didn't. So this image is not mine but will give you an idea of what I saw.
The dark blobs are the follicles that contain the eggs.
IVF is really a numbers game. I am really hoping I get at least 10 eggs, more if possible. For those of you who like facts and figures, see below.
I got the call this afternoon to say I am ready to proceed with egg collection on Wednesday.
This means no more Orgalutran.
Happy days!
Tonight at 9pm I take my trigger injection. This will tell my body to release my eggs for egg collection on Wednesday.
I have heard that Orgalutran is the worst injection. I have also heard that the trigger injection is the worst.
I will let you know tomorrow which one I liked the least.
I expect there will be lots of updates this week, so keep checking in for new posts.
Until then, much love, Alana, Flex Thunderstache and Frankie Xxx
