Whoa! Holy follies!

Things are progressing very quickly.

Today, cd6, I went in for an ultrasound and I already have 4 fairly large follies. So far I had only done 3 days of 150iu Menopur. The follies were paired like this: 19/15 & 14/16 plus many more little ones. The nurse did the US and she thought it was odd they were so big after only 3 days of stims!

My consultation was with the RE. He took a look at the pictures, and is thinking maybe they are actually clusters, and not individual big ones. I hope the second is true.

I also had blood drawn to run an E2 (estradiol) test. I hope that gives a clearer picture of what is going on. We are switching meds, the RE gave me 150iu of Follistim and gave me a pen and is going to call in an Rx for that as well.

After getting the blood work back, they decided to dial me back just a little for the next two days. This weekend's dosage will be 125iu both days. Monday I'll be back for another US and E2 draw.

Our tentative plan: depending on how things look, we may actually trigger on Monday with back to back IUIs on Tuesday and Wednesday! Eeeeks!

Considering I had been at a complete stand still since April 29th, this is all falling together very quickly. Please, don't let me over stimulate.
