Drained

So, the cyst aspiration went pretty well. I have tiny veins, so they tried both my arms and both my hands before finally getting the IV in and flowing, but aside from that it went smoothly. I really like whatever medication I was on (Versed and I think something else?) because I was awake so easily afterwards. (I was awake during it, but not entirely, you know, present.) I'm going to ask for the same thing for ER.

I've also started my period, which means, since I'm supposed to start stims on CD2, I start tomorrow!!! They don't want to see me again till Tuesday, which I find a bit worrisome, but they're doing b/w and u/s as opposed to just b/w, so I guess it'll be fine.

They counted 11 antral follicles, which is a bit low for me. I'm hoping the cyst was hiding a couple more on the right. I'll find out soon I guess!

thanks for your comment on my blog. I'm happy to be stimming with someone else, too! I don't go back for a scan until thur, either.

What stims are you going to be on?

Thanks ladies!

Jem, I'll be on 300IUs of Bravelle, 30IU lowdose hCG (cheap sub for Menopur), and then Ganirelix when it's time.
