Today was a bit different. I actually had my songram done by my doctor. She told me I didn't have 6 eggs but that I had 6 in each ovary approximately. Better news. She said things were going along just as she hoped. She confirmed that my retrieval most likely would be Thusrday. I thought that as extremely ironic. Thanksgiving = future childre. That is a lot to be thankful for!

I also received my estrogen levels and instructions:
My estrogen level this morning was 1366 which is good according to the nurse.
Saturday night I am to take 300 IU of Gonal F. On Sunday evening, I am to take one shot of Antagon. On Sunday evening, I am to again take 300 IU of Gonal F. On Monday, I am to wake up, take Antagon and then go in for a sonogram, and blood test.

Here are the future kiddies!

Not much to report yet.....

Yesterday morning, which was CD 8 (one week since my period started), I took my first shot of Antagon. Antagon suppresses your body from ovulating. It basically keeps the eggs cooking. Last night at about 10 PM, I took 375 IU of Gonal F. The Anatgon is easy to take. It is in a pre-filled (glass) syringe so I don't have to measure anything. The only thing I was told to do by the nurse is pull the plunger back a bit to break the seal. I shot up just as I did with the Gonal F. Both are subcutaneous.

Not much to report other than I still feel bloaty. I certainly am not eating as much as normal. I feel full all the time and once I start eating, I feel even more full and bloaty.

I am heading to bed as I am out of the house by 630 AM so I can be at NYU tomorrow at 7 when they open. I want to go in and get out quick. I have a sonogram and blood test scheduled. Hopefully, my follicles have grown. Maybe I even have some new ones growing.

The sample 'No Lupron EF Cycle' calendar Jennifer from NYU gave me shows that I might have my retrieval Thursday. Thursday is Thanksgiving. Happy Tday to me.
