Day 21

Okay, so no follicles over 10 mm today, but my estradiol was 106 PG/ML and my lining was 11.5 mm and partially trilaminar.

I was very disappointed after my U/S today. I was almost 100 % sure the doc would cancel my cycle because I hadn't made any measurable follicles yet. I knew my estradiol had risen, but I wasn't sure if that was enough to keep going since it is getting kind of late in my cycle. "Fertile Myrtle ovulates on day 14." (Quotes here indicate sarcasm so imagine this in a snotty sing-song voice).

Imagine my surprise when the nurse told me the doctor wants me to do 100 IU for three days and come in on Saturday for further monitoring. The tone of her message implied that she thinks the doctor is nuts. I don't really care, as long as he thinks there is a chance to save this cycle.

It's my understanding that because my estradiol increased, there is still hope for a follicle. It would be nice for something to happen so that this month does not end up a total waste.

For the record, my lab bruise count is up to 5, and I have one new self inflicted injection bruise, for a total of 6 bruises this cycle. Just a fun fact.
