Like I said before, I've been taking FSH via injection. I started out on day 9 with 150iu. Then, on day 11, 12, and 13, I took 75 (per day). This was because my follicles weren't measuring large enough, or weren't present. I learned today that They (doctors) are looking for at least 2 large follicles per ovary. This morning, after taking these additional injections, G and I went back to the doctor to get monitored again. My estrogen level is 77.7 and my lining is measuring 9.3. If you know what this means, please contact me. What I know it means: everything is slowly trucking along. I am taking the FSH for another 2 days at 112iu each day. Slow and steady wins the singleton race. I go back in to be monitored at 7am on Wednesday. This is when I will find out if we can finally schedule the IUI. What I thought would be a fast paced cycle is turning out to be fairly lengthly. Until today I hadn't really noticed much in terms of side effects. I'm having all this hormone pumped into me, but so far I've been feeling okay. Today I did notice some cramping and general discomfort- and I am so so so tired. G will have to tell you how I'm doing in the "moody" department. Lucky for him he'll be out of town as I'm pumped full of meds for the next few days - and as my estrogen begins to peak (in this phase of the cycle).
The above picture is my current nightly ritual. I have a biohazard container, needles, injection pen, and medicine. I can't wait for this phase to be over.
