The u/s tech measured 19 follicles (9 on one side and 10 on the other). The biggest was 13mm and the smallest that she measured was 7mm. MOST of the 19 were around 10mm. So I have quite a few growing in there, but they're not big enough yet. I really hope these 19 get bigger and not any more than that, but my guess is I'm going to have over 20. I really hope it stays as close to 20 as possible as I really don't want to get anywhere near 30. I can't remember for sure what this clinic defines as "big enough." I think my first RE clinic wanted to see at least 16mm, and if I remember correctly, I think this clinic uses 18mm as the minimum. I am curious what my E2 was today; I will find out in a few hours. I will post again this afternoon once I get my E2 level and find out what my instructions are as to my dosages and when to go in next. Also, I need to know whether I'll need to refill my prescriptions or not. I have enough Repronex for two more days (will run out after my Sunday morning injection), and I have enough Follistim for three more days (probably run out after my Monday night injection presuming my dosage stayed the same which it might not). I was hoping this was all I'd need. Not because of the cost as if I need to refill both it will only cost $20 total (although the vials are worth hundreds of dollars each) but just because I'd like the stimming portion to be over sooner rather than later if possible.
I am definitely in pain. It's not pleasant to have 19 follicles growing on your ovaries! I feel very bloated. I think my walking/jogging days are over for awhile. Last night was the first night it was too painful to sleep on my sides. I knew that day would come from previous experiences. It's hard for me to fall asleep on my back though as I always sleep on my sides except when my ovaries are feeling like they're ready to pop with 10+ eggs. Well hopefully this pain will not be in vain.
