I'll take mine big and fluffy please. We had our latest appointment on Tuesday morning, and things are definitely looking up:
follicles - 18 of them
largest size - 15
estradiol - 318
I am supposed to stay on 300 IU's of Follistim until Friday when we have our next appointment. I have had to order 1 more cartridge of meds, and I hope to hell that is the absolute final one. Right now, it looks like Friday could quite possibly be our last appointment before retrieval and that has my thoughts churning.
We are so close now that I am really starting to feel it. While driving today, I just felt the weight of this whole thing fall right on me, almost like a punch in the gut. The feeling of both boundless excitement and heart wrenching fear is really amazing. We have so much to lose, but we also have so very much to gain.
Please...please...please...
