STIMMING DAYS

First of all, I got my period by surprised. Two weeks earlier than expected. I don't even finished my estrace regimen and starts the Prometrium. In other word, I am happy because I get my period back after 3 months missing it. It amazing when you do infertility how important is period.

My nurse in NY asked me to do Baseline on my first heavy flow period. I went and see quite a bit of follicles. Nothing much to see.

On starting my stimming on Saturday, 23 August 2012 with 300 (4 vials Menopur) and 300 (4 vials Bravelle). I was so busy at home that I don't pay attention to my bloodwork results until Friday. My nurse mentioned that do not worry about it, the number super low on Stimming Day 5. Only 100. By Day 7 it rise to 301 which is a good thing, but still low. I read somewhere that because I am using Estrace at the beginning that my reading not accurate. This not going hand in hand with the size of follicles that I have. I have the biggest of 14mm, 11mm, 10mm and few more around 8mm. Probably about 7 to 8 total.

On Stimming Day 8 I started my Centrotide. I got few bruises from the injections. I feel that I lost weight also, which is good!

Tomorrow will be super very important ultrasound and bloodwork and fall on the public holiday (Labor Day in US). Great, so I have to run around to find a place that do bloodwork on holidays and weekends and thankfully they have one in Austin. I have to go downtown around 7am, take the blood samples, then run to my obgyn office to see the weekend Dr. for my ultrasound. There are so many obstacles this time....but I know it worth it when I success. Amin.
