Day Six: A New Hope

I hate going to my RE's. Absolutely hate it. I can't think of a single time I have walked out of there with good news. My stomach clenches when I wake up and usually doesn't stop for days. Driving there is like driving to a nightmare. Sitting undressed-from-the-waist-down on the table waiting, waiting, waiting for the ultrasound is pure hell.

Except today, he inserted the wand, did the uterus (blah blah blah, my mind is always going, my lining has never been an issue, skip to the ovaries already)...and I saw follicles! He started measuring and I almost started crying!!

In the end, I have seventeen follicles. Tomorrow I start Ganirelix.

Holy fucking shit.

I might make it to retrieval. We might actually get to try ICSI!!! I might, just might, make it to the two week wait!

This is scary as hell but...I'm excited. I am hopeful.

I'm imagining a baby.

EDIT: And my estradiol is at 453, which is not too low and not too high! Woohoo!!!

This is wonderful news. Seventeen = lovely, high number. I have the same experience with RE's offices, and so I'm glad that today's consult broke the mold. Hopefully, for good. Thinking good thoughts for you.
