WOW! This has been a very busy week! Since I have started the stimulation medication I have been going into the clinic for a blood draw and ultra sound every other day. Traveling back and forth to the clinic has definitely made this week fly by! All of the blood draws have been great! The meds are doing what they are supposed to be doing and my estrogen levels are rising which stimulates the ovaries to produce follicles. So everything is right on track in that department. In the ultrasound department...not so super!
Here is a little back story on why. A couple of years ago I had a 9cm cyst removed from my right ovary. With that large of a cyst they Doc wasn't able to remove all of the tissue, because he was trying to save some of my ovary. Well, the part of the ovary that is still there isn't very viable. In layman’s terms...it isn't going to produce jack crap!! So, when the IVF cycle started we knew that we weren't going to get much from that ovary. My left ovary "the good one" is doing just fine! Producing those follicles!! Go left ovary, GO! I know that we are not going to get the same amount of follicles as the average couple, but then again...are we the average couple...not at all...we have to make it a little exciting for the doctors and nurses!! =)
Excited for the next week!! That's when all of the good stuff happens!!
Be Blessed Everyone!!!
