I went up to Columbia today with Jared for an ultrasound and blood work. Jared had to provide another sample to combine with the first sample that he gave last week. His motility went from 8% - 12%, and his count increased to two million motile.
During my ultrasound, the nurse saw 10 follicles in my right ovary and 4 in my left. All are about 12-15mm in size, which is right where they should be. My estradiol level was 343, which is in range as well. So tonight, she wanted me to take 300 IU of Menopur, which is similar to Bravelle in that they both contain FSH, but Menopur also contains LH (Luteinizing Hormone). That shot STUNG!! I'm sick of these shots already and all the pain and tears that go along with them. Just gotta remember that I'm almost done!!
Tomorrow morning, I am supposed to take the Ganirelix again to prevent ovulation. This one shouldn't be too bad. And then tomorrow night, I'm to take 300 IU of Menopur again....definitely dreading this one!
I go back to Columbia on Wednesday to check my follicles (size and number) as well as my Estradiol level. The nurse said I should be prepared to have my egg retrieval done on Friday or Saturday! Yippee!
