First, the past few days I am not bloated. Not at all. In fact I put a new pair of pants on Wed that I was sure I “shouldn’t” be able to fit into to at this stage and what do you know…zipped right up. Also where I had a lot of Ovary pain at the beginning of the week, nada now. Just little zings once and a while but nothing that has me doubled up in pain or think I might overstim. Not the best way to head into an IVF monitoring appt.
So she comes in, gets the wand ready and then for the next 3 minutes is trying to figure out how to work the u/s machine. Talk about ANXIETY ATTACK. She finally got things all set and here are the stats I remember.
I currently have 15 follicles between 11 and 21. On my right side (the overachiever it is, I mean really NO TUBE but it does all the work) I had 9 follicles ranging in size from 12-21 (only one 21 and 3 15′s I remember the rest is a blur) then on my left side, the side the hurts and zings me every so often….only 6 follicles and what underachievers those lazy bastards are….and followers too…every follicle on my left side was a size 11. No that’s not a typo, they were all 11. Even the Dr didn’t seem to know what to say while giving me the numbers. So I am hoping that 11 is a lucky number for me cause I got it all over the place. Then she tells me my lining is a 12 and seems very happy about that. Yeah, it’s great if I have something to implant there. Geez.
It seems that I might start seeing the dr every day now. I asked her if she was leave my dosage the same or up it tonight, her answer was that until she saw my estrodial she wasn’t sure, but probably Up she said, “we don’t go backwards”. So that’s where I am.
Still rolling the dice. C’mon 11.
Okay- I’m putting all of my money on the number 11… You’re getting so close. This is the time that is so full of hope… I so very hope that you finally have your dream come true. I’m thinking of you and praying for you.-Faith
I didn’t get the bloat until after retrieval – then it was OUT OF CONTROL. Maybe you’ll be lucky and not get any!well, sounds like you’ve got a good number of follicles going. And I’m jealous of your lining thickness- EVERY TIME I can’t manage to get anything thicker than freaking 9mm. I have yet to hit double digits.(Hrm. Did I just actually say OUT LOUD that I’m jealous of someone’s endometrium?)
I’m sad I’m going to be away when you have your retrieval and transfer. But I hope you know that I’ll be thinking of you when I’m in Italy. I’ll even throw a wish for you into the Mediterranean…
C’on lucky number 11, we’re ALL counting on you baby!I also didn’t get very bloated until close to retrieval, when I started the fluid restriction.I am keeping everything crossed this cycle just goes swimmingly…xoxo
You are so close Kir!! Glad everyone is so nice. Glad you are not too uncomfortable too. Sounds like you are progressing very well! Still praying for you all the time…….
11 feels like a very lucky number. So straight. So symetrical. It’s a very crisp and clean number. Go, go, go, lucky 11!
11 sounds lucky to me! Good luck!
Everything’s crossed for you! 11 is a great number! I won a bike when I was a kid because I drew number 11…I know that’s the same as this, right?
Anyway, I’m feeling lucky for you! 
Like the others, I agree that the number 11 sounds lucky. I am not a gambling person, but I am willing to bet on it!!Fingers crossed for you.
