Stim Day 8 and Ultrasound checkup

Just back from my ultrasound appointment. There are about 7 follicles that look like they will be large enough to retrieve next week.  My right ovary is still not happy but its more of a pulling sensation than stabbing.  The Dr. didnt seem to be too worried about it. He said if its a stabbing doubling over vomiting pain to go to the ER as that could be my ovary twisting.

There are still more follicles and bigger ones on the left side but that side doesn't hurt. Who knows.

7 is a good number. Dr. said he's happy with anything over 5 because that gives us a good chance of success.

We're increasing the Follistim to 400 to help the follicles grow larger and hopefully a few more will catch up.   Possible retrieval has been bumped to Thursday or Friday of next week.

Here's a pic of Nate preparing the injection last night. Wee fun!
