We were pleasantly surprised to see our Dr. meet us at our 7:30 appt this morning. He walked in saying my Estrodiol numbers from yesterday were a bit high, so he wanted to check me out. Recognized he was being extra methodical, but really wants to be cautious with me. I like cautious.
From the few comments he provided, it sounds like my ultrasound showed him that things were so far so good. I had approximately 9 follicles developing on my left and 15 or so developing on the right. No wonder I feel so fat and bloated. My ovaries are working overtime.
Estrodiol report from this afternoon had my level now at 531, just about double what it was yesterday. Dr. has advised us to reduce our Follistim to 75 units tonight and tomorrow and then down further to 50 units on Tuesday. I'll be back in on Tuesday morning for another set of blood work and ultrasound.
So much of this IVF process is about Faith. Faith in our Dr. figure out the treatment and drug levels right for me. Faith in my body to respond as it should. Faith that one day the baby we've dreamed about for so long will be ours.
