CD7 afternoon

On the follicles – they said that basically I have 4 that could be in play. I doubt it by the end, which is fine, because I don’t really want 4. Kim told me that even if I got pregnant with the 4 follicles, it’s an 80% chance that I’ll only have a singleton pregnancy. Still, 20% chance I could have 4???? She also said though that they are going to be more aggressive with me now. If it was the first month trying, no way would we go with 4. Given that we’ve not had the best luck in the past though, they are willing to take more chances. Still, I’m hoping for 3 mature ones tops. The lining – I’m not really sure what they want right now. Between 8 and 13 on the day I trigger, with over 7 being the goal.

Irena just called me – my estradiol was 145 today. That’s better than it ever has been. A day later it was 112 and 77 in past cycles. So maybe that means I actually have one (or more) decent eggs starting. By the time I trigger they want to see 200-300 per mature egg.

I’m going to continue with the 3 vials/day and go back on Saturday for another check. Kim said that I can go back Friday if it would make me feel better, so we’ll see. Based on growth rates of past cycles I should be fine for Saturday. Based on past cycles I might trigger Saturday or Sunday, with the IUI on Monday or Tuesday. (Wow, what a full day Tuesday would be if that’s when we do it!) IUI and Buffett!

Yay estradiol! And on that note, every time I read that word (in my head) I can't pronounce it. I have yet to come up with a pronunciation that I think sounds right. How do you say it?
