moving along

i went in on friday 4/2 for an ultrasound and bw...i had an 11-mm follie. estrogen was 92. progesterone and lh looked fine.

back in this morning for another us and bw...we're up to a 16-mm follie. still only one, and still only on the right ovary. apparently my left ovary is just done. waiting on bw results to see where my estrogen is and if they are going to trigger me tonight or wait another day for just a little bit more growth. they would really like to see a 17-mm follie, however if my lh is starting to surge, they'll want try to beat that.

trying to stay calm, keep busy, and not think too much about it.

stay tuned and i'll update after they call this afternoon.

update 1:58 p.m.:
bloodwork updated in the cycle #5 timeline on the right...

triggering tonight as follicle size is "great" (want between 16 and 18 mm, but it depends on the estrogen how big they want you to go), estrogen is "perfect" so the 16 mm size follicle is great, lining is "great".

also got an update from john's semen analysis...his numbers are "so good" and he got another excellent on his report...what an overacheiver! ha!

oh boy (or girl! ha!)...let the waiting game begin.

believe it or not, i am going to try my hardest to not test at home prior to my beta. ok, so i will probably test the morning of the 21st when i go in for my beta only because i don't want to be totally unprepared if it didn't work.

going to try not to overanalyze anything this time either. remaining positive, but going to really actually try my hardest to not even think about it.
