I am suppressed! It was odd to see ultrasounds of my ovaries without follicles or circles or anything sticking out. Weird to hear her say "You've got a nice, thin, lining -completely at rest". I'm so used to hoping for X number of follicles at YY millimeters. Instead, they measured my ovaries and took an antral follicle count. No bloodwork needed.
One downside was the antral follicle count. The last few times they have checked, they felt comfortable saying 7 on one side and 8 on the other. Today, it was 5 on one side and 4 on the other - quite a difference. I do know that what the antral follicle count is at suppression doesn't mean much since everything is so tiny and dormant, but I'm a teensy bit concerned. My doctor has ordered me to go from 325 units of Follistim to 450 tomorrow. We'll check again on Monday afternoon to see how that affects things.
So, we march on! And away from margaritas on the beach.
yay- good luck! Is today the first day of stims?
ReplyDeleteWe begin tonight. the Hubs is nervous because he will have to help with the follistim. i'm not sure I can dial that and hold the needle in.
