Stim Day 8 and Ultrasound Update

Just back from my ultrasound appointment. Same 8-9 follicles there and getting bigger. Ranging from 7 - 12mm.  Dr thinks I'll be ready for retrieval Friday (10/31) or Saturday (11/1).  He upped the meds again just a bit but not much.

I'm nervous because last time we had 11-12 and he only got 6 out that were mature. He said he feels fairly confident these 8-9 are going to be mature in time.  The only way to tell is by the size of the follicle.

We start Ganirelix tonight to keep me from ovulating.  I have to go to the pharmacy tomorrow to pick up 3 more boxes of Follistim and one more of Menopur to last through Thursday.

My lining is still thin (4.5mm) which was disappointing. I was hoping the endometrium scratch had helped and that the lining would beef up. It still has a 5-6 days to grow but I doubt it will be at optimum (7-8mm) by the time we transfer. We're moving forward regardless.

We'll go with what we have and hope for the best.  Trying not to stress too much.
