Cheaper by the Dozen

Even though yesterday i went in for only bloodwork and wasn't supposed to have another dr appointment til tomorrow, i was called in a day early for an ultrasound. Apparently my body responds pretty well to the meds (as evident by what feels like my ovaries wanting to pop out of my torso) and my estrogen levels were high enough for them to want to check me out. Currently I'm taking 300iu of Follistim and 2 vials of Menopur and have done this for 3 days now.

So this morning as it was absolutely pouring and i had to drop the pup off to grandma's house (i do this every morning so he doesn't have to spend the day alone), and i knew i had a 9:30 meeting at work, i was praying that the line in the waiting room wouldn't be that long. And i totally lucked out... i walked in and was taken right back! Bazinga!

The physician's assistant did the ultrasound, and i had 4 follies on the right ranging from 9-10mm and 9 follies on the right ranging from 9-14mm. Though, of those 9, 1 is most definitely a cyst since they had found that cyst on Saturday. So a dozen follies to start out with... not bad for 3 days of meds.

With that said, i'm hoping to only have to go to Day 7 or 8 with the stims... main reason being, i don't think i'll have enough Follistim or Menopur to get me through more days than that. So cross your fingers for me that i'm an egg factory and just keep producing/growing these eggs. (Bak, bak... said in my best chicken voice).

One super fun side effect... other than the fact that i feel like my ovaries are about to bust through my jeans.... the hot flashes i started having last night. Holy hell, i woke up SWEATING... asked the hubs if he was hot, as he looked at me like i was nuts. i thought i was going to have to go stand in front of the freezer to cool down. Am i the only one with these crazy symptoms??
