May 27th, 2012: 8th appointment in 10 days






We went back for our 8th appointment in 10 days.  We began this cycle with a baseline ultrasound and blood work on May 18th.  That was appointment number 1… Beginning May 21st, we have been at the doctor every day for blood work and ultrasounds.  4 of those appointments have been out in Scottsdale which has been quite a drive for us. 

The reason we have had so many appointments is because my estrogen levels have been really high.  It could be considered bordering on OHSS, but since I didn’t respond well the first cycle, it’s not likely I will get it.  Yesterday, my E2 level was 3381!  I went back in today for more blood and an ultrasound.  My follicles continue to grow and my left side is “the egg making machine!”  I’m so pleased with this cycle and how my body is responding.  We are not going to trigger today like originally thought.  We are allowing the follicles to grow one more day since many are bordering on mature.  We will trigger on Monday and the retrieval will be on Wednesday!  I’m hoping for 20+ eggs!  I can’t wait!!!
