New Dose

I really, really meant to post this for you all yesterday, but I was extremely busy...taking a nap the majority of the afternoon. In my own defence, I also worked that morning...and I was just really flipping tired. Anyway, Doc called on Friday afternoon with my blood work results. He said that my estrogen had gone way up since the initial draw, and that they wanted to put the breaks of the Follistim and cut my dose back from 300 to...50. Looks like I was wrong about ordering all those extra meds! Thank God the insurance paid for it...

I did ask if it would be better to cancel the cycle (again) and restart next month and he said no. They basically said that my egg count looks really good, they are just cutting back to prevent me from making anymore. I guess I am strolling down that thin line of lots of eggs vs. hyperstimulation. They seem on top of it, and I trust them. I am going back in tomorrow morning for another ultrasound and blood draw to reevaluate. I am nervous but thrilled at the same time. Everything just seems to be going so fast.

In a separate totally random update, do you know how to tell that your mom loved her forty-tenth birthday present? When her first response is to actually hug the box containing her new pink Kitchenaid mixer! We love you little mommy and are so glad you liked your presents!
