So had my first monitoring appt today after 4 days of stims.
My estrogen is 250 something and I have a total of 7 follicles so far, 3 on the left and 4 on the right ranging in size from 10-11 with one 12.4 on the right.  Unfortunately I don't have exact numbers written down since the nurse called when we were waiting for dd's therapy to start.  I figured since it is still early in the cycle she wasn't going to tell me exact numbers because I figured my follicles would be too small to measure so I decided to answer the call instead of letting it go to voice mail.

I am shocked at how quickly my follicles have grown since I have felt nothing in my ovaries yet and usually I am a slow responder as well as poor responder.  I was hoping ER would be at the end of next week, but if things keep going this way it is looking like more like mid week.  I know dh will be upset about this.  I am glad that I ordered the ganirelix to arrive tomorrow (even though it means I have to stay home for my birthday to receive the shipment) because it is looking like I will be starting it on Friday.

I must say though that this course of stims has been the best so far in terms of side effects.  I have only had a couple migrane headaches after the gonal-f and those only last a few minutes.  Much much better than the flare protocol where I had migranes for the whole 2 weeks of stims non-stop 24 hours a day.
