But instead, I'm farting around with the follie measurements from today ...
My nurse must have been off today, because I consulted with a different one. I told her we were still going back and forth about the PBB/CGH and told her if we could have a contingency plan it would be a no-brainer. She then told me that she anticipates getting all the eggs! ... like 11-14 or so. I then told her that in my past two ER's I've only gotten 5 and 1 mature egg respectively and on those cycles I had many more follies. She patted my arm and apologized and said we'd likely keep pushing. She then agreed with my nurses' guesstimate of 6 to 8 mature eggs.
We will still monitor tomorrow and Friday, but we also booked a monitoring appointment for Saturday ... just in case. I don't think I'll get instructions to trigger tonight, so ER will likely not happen until Saturday or later. (Sheesh, all this dragging on follicular development is exhausting!)
Ok, back to all the excel fun! I'll update with bloodwork results later.

Love the chart! It's fun to see them all growing.
ReplyDeleteHang in there - they know what they're doing. I had really awful maturity & fert rates at home too (last cycle at home retrieved 10 and only 2 fertilized) and I totally understand your concerns. In my first CCRM cycle, they got 11 eggs of which 10 were mature and 8 fertilized so that was an all time record high for me - oh and this was on half the meds. Of course, believe it when you see it but I truly hope that you will be pleasantly surprised.
ReplyDeleteLoving the chart! I sure hope you are pleasantly surprised by the amount of eggs retrieved. Will they be doing a double trigger? I often wonder if out better outcome came from the lupron trigger.
ReplyDeleteAn obsessive numbers girl - right after my own heart. (-;
ReplyDeleteYour E2 with your number of follies is looking really good. You are getting so close.
Hang in there, hun!!

ReplyDeleteThat chart cracks me up! I never made charts, but I poured over those little ultrasound print outs all day long!

Hi, Polly! I just wanted you to know, too, that even though I rarely comment, I also read every one of your posts! =) I'm praying for a great cycle this go-round!
