Here is my update from this morning’s appt. I thought for sure I would be going in today and them saying yeap your ready for your retrieval. I feel my ovaries when I do the stairs, when I get up and out of my office chair, and if I stretch…that hurts the most. But other than that I feel really good. I have been eating ramen noodles, frozen meals, and anything else that has a high salt content for lunches/snacks and have been drinking lots of water and gatorade. Come to think about it I need to go get another glass of water. I'm really getting excited about this and can't wait to know how many official eggs I made and then how many embryos' we'll get.
Estrogen Level (E2) 2,950 – I thought that they never wanted to see it above 2,000 but I must be wrong…I feel fine and don’t have any symptoms of OHSS (ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome) = very bad…
Follicles –
Left side – 6 (21 mm being the biggest)
Right Side – 4 (17 mm being the biggest)
Dr. Miller wants to grow them a little bigger…so tonight I will be doing 1 vial of Menopur and 50 IUIs of Folllistim.
Tomorrow morning I will go in for another ultrasound and blood work in Schaumburg.
I Do NOT know when the ER will be still…that’s still in the air or they just don't want to give your hopes up.
I did have my favorite U/S tech this morning and I do believe that she will be in the Schaumburg office tomorrow because when I was leaving she said that she would probably see me tomorrow morning for another scan but at the Schaumburg office. I really like her and she seems to take her time and really measure everything thoroughly.
I am doing the same thing as you eating tons of salty foods and drinking tons of gatorade.
ReplyDeleteI think they do not want to see E2 levels over 4,000 - so you are totally fine.
I wish you the best of luck with your ER!!!
