Another ultrasound today with Dr. M. I have done 7 days of medication with Bravelle at 2 vials a day. Very first time with this protocol. Lining from monday was 9mm & today it was 11.1. Nice! Right side showed 21 18.2 16.3 14.5 14.5 & 10.5. Left side was 26.4 19.4 15 14.5 & 11.9. So any following knows anything over 16 according to my dr's is considered mature BUT for me they would like to see higher numbers close to the 20s. Today is showing 5 mature follicles already. Had more blood work this morning to show my estrogen & progesterone levels. With follicles at this size, I'm sure it will be really high. They will consider doing another day of medicine today & trigger tomorrow morning. By time I trigger & ovulate I will have POTENTIALLY 8-9 mature follicles. Discussed IUI with Dr. M this month. For me only because we have no male issues, an IUI will only increase our chances of pregnancy to 1-2%. It's more a financial decision than medical. The chance of mulitples are going to be the same rate either way. This month we opted out of IUI, I have never responded with this many follicles & would like to see how it pans out. They are throwing me the caution tape MORE this month & even the more aggressive dr today is concerned & really talked to me about the chance of multiples.
So we wait it out. I will hear from them again this afternoon with my blood work results. I really have to think about what I wanna do. Do I push 1 more day of meds & trigger tomorrow & giving them 2 more days to grow OR do I trigger today only allowing them 1 more day to grow. Decisions Decisions um....... Will update later today.
UPDATE: Estrogen level is 1103 & progesterone is 1.6. What does that mean? The estrogen level will read 200-250 PER mature follicle. With that reading we are over 5 mature & close to 6. I'm continuing 1 more night of bravelle at 2 vials & triggering tomorrow. The nurse again mentioned if I wanted to continue how much of a high risk I have of multiples. So by time I release the eggs on Fri. I could have a potential of 8 mature. I have no idea what the quality of the eggs are. It's quality NOT quanity so here it goes to the scary 2 week wait!
BONUS: I was just informed at my employment that I will have more job duties, tasks & responsibilities but will be receiving a raise Ya Hoo!

oooh this sounds exciting. I am not too worried about multiples in your case (not that I know anything), but since you've had so much trouble all along, the more good chance you'll have of having 1 or 2 healthy babies.
I'm not afraid of multiples either with my case because given 3-4 eggs each month & still no response, maybe I do need to have more. It does sound promising & exciting but trying not to give too much for the failure will not be as hard. Thanks Dawnise!
I have been praying really hard for you the last few weeks. I will continue my mission ;-)
You and Todd deserve some good news.
Love Ya-Lisa
