Day 4 of stims:

4 days of:

300 go.nal f - mornings
2 vials men.apur - evenings
1 tab dex.amethasone - evenings
prenatals, baby aspirin, and folic acid - evenings

Follie scan today. I have 7 follies that were in the 10-15 range and a few more that were hard to see because my bladder was really full. (WTF? I went just before I walked into the office!) Looks like I'll get somewhere around 10 eggs if my luck holds out, which is the same as I did 2 years ago.

Anyway, I will most likely get to add gani.relix to the mix tonight and go back on Sunday for the next check. Of course, all of that depends on blood work results I'll get when they call me later. May trigger somewhere around Wednesdayish. Retrieval on Friday? We shall see.

Dare I say it? So far, so good. **fingers crossed that I didn't jinx myself**

There is so much about all of this that I had forgotten. I mean, I remembered the gist, but I had forgotten what it is like to actually be in the middle of this stuff--the shots, the bloat, the general feeling like crap, the blemishes, the mood swings (although Is.aac says I am being nicer to him--go figure), the scans with the awful goop, the scary wait for update calls from the nurse, the hurry up and wait, and all the rest.

Now it all came back to me. And I still don't like it.

***edited to add: The nurse finally called. (Really people. Don't you know that late calls make patients sick to their stomachs and get all doom and gloomy?) E2 level is now 284, which "pleased" the RE. Just as planned, I continue stims and add gani.relix. I go for my next scan on Sunday.
