Yesterday's u/s and bw results were expected, I suppose. The nurse counted and measured about 8 follicles, the largest being 14mm (18mm is considered mature) and my E2 was 803. The nurse called and said that all sounded good and things were on track. They did not schedule my ER yet, they want me back tomorrow. I run out of stims tonight, so I hope things are good with the appt tomorrow and they tell me to trigger tomorrow night (I just can't stop finding things to worry about!). I brought this to the nurse's attention and she had to think a minute about it. She said it 'should' be fine, I guess we'll all just cross our fingers.
I've compared this cycle with my son's IVF and they aren't matching up. I guess, despite my denial, my poor ovaries have gotten older in the past 5 years. I responded really well with my son's IVF with more follicles and a higher E2. I do keep it in perspective and I am happy that I do have, what looks like, 8 follicles for ER and I hope they are all good quality and all mature in the end. I'm actually incredibly grateful that I have responded and this is all going to happen!
On a quirky side note, the RE and RN have been chipper and encouraging in their tone when they left messages. Like saying "your estrogen was ..., that's good/ great...". So I wondered if it really is good/great, or do they say that to everyone. I'm sure they wouldn't say "well, that's not really good, but ...". Are they trying to keep us all calm so we won't worry?! I know, its quirky, and I'm sure untrue, but the thought did cross my mind.
