Today was cd 9 in our cycle, which meant another trip back to new jersey for bloodwork and ultrasounds. We had an early appointment, which was nice because everyone going through IVF this cycle had to come in for the same tests today. We were the first ones there and were in and out in no time!
First we had bloodwork done which showed that everything was fine, we just need to continue with the same shots for the next few days until we hear otherwise. My ultrasound showed that my uterine lining was looking good, so I am just in a holding pattern until we hear that Andrea's eggs are ready.
Andrea's ultrasound showed about 9 follicles on the right side... 5 of the follicles were 10 mm and the others were between 11-13 mm. On her left side, there were about 5 or 6 more, 1 of them was 15 mm and the others were 10-11 mm. So there are roughly 15 follicles, which is a pretty good number. However, they are all small. So Andrea has to go back on Wednesday for another ultrasound to check on her progress. The good news is that follicles grow kinda fast. With NO meds, a follicle can grow 2-3 mm per day. WITH meds, it obviously grows even more. So I'm thinking that those follicles that were 10 mm will probably make it to about 20 mm, while the others could be 23 mm or higher! Once the follicles grow a bit more, we'll be ready for the hcg shot and retrieval.
