Status of Follicle Growth November 7th

Well, today's appointment was kind of disappointing to say the least. My nurse only saw four follicles that were getting big in size, two were at seven and two were at ten in size. They need to be between 18-24 to mature and be good enough for the egg retrieval that we are suppose to have next week. They would like me to have between five and ten follicles so only having four that are getting big in size was not the best news for me to hear. The nurse called me this afternoon and said that I am trailing in the same pattern as I was last time when they had to cancel the procedure. She also told me not to get discouraged because a lot can change between now and Monday, which I know is true since my friend Beth who has already been through all this said the same thing. :)

I am trying to stay positive about everything although it does get hard sometimes. All of my shots have been pretty easy and simple until they through this new shot in called Repronex. It hurts a lot worse then the others and makes me pretty irritable. Brad and I were hoping that I might not have to take it again after last night if everything looked good at my appointment this morning but unfortunately that wasn't the case and I will be taking it again tonight and probably the rest of this weekend. Don't get me wrong if my appointment goes well Monday it will all be worth it but if adding this new shot in ends up not helping like they said it would I am not going to be a very happy camper.

I have to go get my blood drawn again tomorrow morning and the doc is going to call and let me know if I have to take all three of my shots again. I want my eggs to mature so whatever it takes I will do it! My next appointment is Monday morning so we will be doing lots of praying and pleading with God this weekend to help make this medicine work the way it's suppose to in my body. I am not accepting any more bad news, I just have a better feeling about things this time around.

But God please supply all my needs according to your riches and not my own.
