So it looks like my cycle that started out so crappy has turned out to be a superstar.
Of course things aren't over, but I am just basking in the glory right now that I have the most follicles ever going into ER.
Today's Estrogen was 1420 and I have 11 measurable follicles ranging from 15-20 (the largest being 20.4). For comparison my last cycle I had an estrogen value of just over 1000 going into ER and only 6 follicles from 14-18mm (with a bunch of 11's thrown in there as well). Not surprisely we only got 6 eggs.
I took my last dose of gonal-f and menopur at 4 today and tonight at 9pm I trigger. Retrival is set for Thursday at 9am with an arrival time of 8am. I have told dh we will have to get up that morning at 5 with plans to get out the door between 5:30-5:45. It sucks that the weather is suppose to be very bad. There is now a winter storm warning for all of Wednesday and Thursday. This is what I was afraid of with cycling in the winter, but I was confident that things would be okay since it has been such a mild winter. I guess that is Murphy's law for you. This will be the only 2nd storm and probably 3rd time it has snowed all winter and of course it has to happen when we have to have ER and take dd over to my inlaws. Just like the last snow storm was only time I received a call this winter for a housecall. Well I hadn't received a call all February and now today 2 calls come in. So I had to book them on Saturday and Monday. Poor dd I am going to have work on her birthday and the day of her party.
Anyways I am just hoping that we can get through these next couple of days okay. This storm is just coming at the worse timing. I have to bring dd over to my inlaws tomorrow so not sure when I will do that. I had planned to do it in the evening when she is about to go to bed, but now with the storm, I am not too sure that is such a great idea. Then I am scared to death for Thursday. Not for the ER itself, that is a piece of cake, but I am worried about getting in a car accident on the way over there because of the roads being iced covered, worried about not getting there in time, ovulating before they can get the eggs, worried dh will have stage fright, and then there is the worry that even though everything looks great today that they will not find any eggs or they will all be of poor quality or that the trigger will fail and not mature my eggs. All of these things are a possiblity and will ruin the cycle and this is the reason why ivf is so stressful.
