Day 3:
Last night we decided to try the right arm since the left arm was pretty painless. Well, Jared must have hit a muscle or something, because that injection stung!! Thank God it only last for a couple minutes.
Day 4:
Today I drove out to Columbia for my second ultrasound and blood work. The nurse saw about 10 follicles in my right ovary and about 5 in my left. She said that was good and that more will develop as we continue this process. I wanted to see like 20 follicles, but she told me not to worry. Right now, she just wanted to make sure that all the follicles were growing and were all roughly the same size. They were all about 1-2 mm in size, which is great! I told her that my belly was slightly tender to the touch. She laughed, said it was normal, and told me that by Monday, I won't even want to tough it...LOL.
My Estradiol level was 127 today, which was in the normal range, so she said to continue the 300 IU of Bravelle for tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday. But on Sunday, she also wants me to take the Ganirelix Acetate 250 mcg prefilled syringe so that I don't ovulate prematurely. This injection, like Bravelle, is a SubQ injection, so hopefully it's not too bad.
Tonight's injection was a breeze!! Jared did such a good job! We went back to the left arm, around the same area that we did it last time. I applied ice for about 2 minutes prior and felt nothing!! It was the first time that I was actually smiling after the shot, rather than wiping away tears!!
