Not Much to Report!

I went to the RE on Friday morning and again this morning. I had an ultrasound and bloodwork on both days. My RE says that I am responding well to the stim medication which I guess is what I want to hear! I am still on the same medication amount nothing up or down. My RE showed me how my follicles have grown, they looked to be like nickel to quarter sized, I really dont know how "big" they are supposed to be before retreival. I am thinking by the end of next week I should have retreival scheduled. But nothing is set it stone, kinda in the land of day by day right now. I have an appointment on Tuesday am, so we will see how things change! My back is starting to ache now and I have some strange sharp pains every once in a while but nothing too bad. I am not sure which medication is causing the nagging headaches and the tiredness but I guess this just all goes with the IVF fun! I have to go and help with a friends mother's memorial dedication this afternoon, but I would like nothing more than to just lay around, having to go to the RE on Sunday morning seems like is shortens your weekend but before I know it, it will be over and hopefully I will be preparing for a new baby. :) I am the glass half empty type of person, which I think that my husband cant stand but I tell him that if I dont get my hopes up I wont be so upset if it doesnt work, but deep down I SO want it too. I hope that all my fellow IF gals are progressing well and I am hoping for a good week for all of us! Got to get ready to go to my friends I will post later!

Hi Blythe,

It sounds like everything is full steam ahead! That's awesome, and I'm very excited for you. I keep checking in on you, and it's giving me an idea what to expect next. (I go for my baseline bloodwork and u/s in three days.)

I sent you a quick email, so I look forward to hearing back from you. Keep up the great progress!

Best,
Christi

Blythe, the headaches are from the Lucrin (or whatever your alternative is).

My clinic told me to drink 2,5 - 3 Litres of liquid from day 3 of the Lucrin otherwise I'd get headaches, and it works :)
