Already? Still-Life, Ovary

Ovary before Stims:



Ovary, 5-6 days of Stims:


OK, this would be more effective if I could get the walnut a bit smaller, but you get the idea

I've heard ovaries get to be grapefruit sized. Yikes. I am already not enjoying walking fast or eating much.

My Estrogen yesterday shot up to 955, lining is at 1cm, has stripe, RE said "your uterus looks like a subway sandwich, just how we like it." I find it mildly disturbing, all these food comparisons. But, I also see how it is helpful. Common point of reference, and everything.

11 follicles between 11-15mm. They are starting me on "go in every day" for monitoring. I think we could skip today. It seems likely I'll trigger tomorrow. But, I know they are being careful, and I know that is good. So, I'll keep the grumbling to a minimum.

I got a facial yesterday at the Av.eda institute. Oh my. So relaxing! Just what I needed.

    Best Wishes for a wonderful trigger with a Bull's Eye and BFP! Yes, the food analogies are a little disturbing. Good for you for getting a facial. Thank you for the update.

    Sounds like things are chugging right along. I always make a joke about harboring golf balls when I am stimming, guess I need to change that to grapefruit.

    Hope all goes well with your appointments.

    Yay for a good ute! I'm about a week behind you. I think it is funny that they relate everything to food. My ovaries, when I hyperstimed, were the size of grapefruits and they were kissing.

    Sounds nice, but indeed wasn't!

    Good luck for trigger and retrieval!

    Poppy,

    I will be thinking of you -- I'm glad they're monitoring you so closely -- I always think that's a really good sign.
