Things are looking up! Today I had 3 measurable follicles - 11.5 mm, 11 mm, and 12 mm. Woohoo! I'm not sure what my estradiol was today, but they told me two days at 100 IU and go back in on Monday for another check.
Hopefully one follicle will dominate the others so I don't have to worry about triplets. Twins would be a lot of work, but triplets or more scare the @!*# out of me. In mother nature, usually one follicle grows big and signals the others to back off.
We're looking for one (or more) follicle(s) to be 18 mm+ and for my estradiol to be 150 - 200 per follicle. The size of the follicle combined with the proper estradiol level signals a mature and healthy egg.
Today was U/S and lab #8 for this month. I don't even want to know how much all of that costs. Add to that three trips to Mpls and back (gas), and 1500 IU of medication so far. Don't get me wrong, a child is completely worth it, but this sucks financially.
