Stimulation Day 6
Oh yeah. I'm feeling it.
My estrogen went from 118 on Thursday to 635 this morning, yay! They measured 8 growing follicles...4 on my left ovary and 4 on my right. It is still very early, so there's a chance that some of the smaller ones will catch up. This time last cycle, I had 4 total follicles and one huge cyst. I would say that this time around is showing a little more promise. I go back Monday a.m. for another ultrasound and blood work.
As of now, my surgery for retrieval is scheduled for next Friday, November 20. The transfer should take place on Monday, November 23 (Day 3) or Wednesday, November 25 (Day 5).
This schedule is tentative and could change at any time over this next week. It all depends on how I continue to respond to the medications.
We always do Thanksgiving out of town with Andy's family, and according to this schedule, I will be on bed rest. If we get lucky enough to have a Day 5 transfer, then it will be the day before Thanksgiving. It sucks, but I would much rather bring a grandchild to our next Thanksgiving celebration.
My family will also be out of town celebrating Thanksgiving with my sister and her new baby girl...that is, if she's born by then. She's about 87 weeks pregnant right now...hang in there Katie! I hope I get to meet her before I'm stuck on bed rest!
Will somebody please bring some turkey and dressing by my house? Make it enough for seconds too:)

WOOHOO!!! Way to go!! Bear's says we can definitely bring you some turkey & dressing...or, an even better idea, you could come with us to Bear's family for Thanksgiving! :) Or maybe we'll just bring you some grub!
Good stuff! Looks like you have some turkey + trimmings coming your way and some good follies! Look at that estrogen go!
Glad to hear you're responding so well to the meds!
I'm sorry you'll miss out on thanksgiving, but I agree that bringing a baby to dinner next year is a much better outcome.
Hang in there!!!
Girl...we'll just drop two plates off at your house next week! We are celebrating with Brandy and Seth next Sunday for the 'southern' version of Thanksgiving and then again on Thursday with my family for the 'northern' version. There are completely different sides that go along with each version, but all are just as yummy. Whatcha want? :)
You won't miss the Carolina/Clemson game, will you?
Thanks everyone! Amanda, just grab some grub and sneak out of there to come see me. They won't know you're missing, right?
Mandy, that sounds delicious! I'll take one of everything:) I hope you and your new family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I get to watch the game from my couch, which is fine with me. I've wasted too much money to go watch them lose, haha!
yay!! hope all goes well!!
