And then there were 10

I went in for another ultra-sound and bloodwork this morning. We skip tomorrow, and then I start going in every day as we near the retrieval date. Everything looked good this morning. The only thing that was a little disappointing was seeing that only 4 follicles were stimming on the left and 6 on the right. In some recent ultra-sounds they were able to count 6 on the left and 8 on the right, so I was hoping for more. But 10 is still a good number, and hopefully they will be able to retrieve 10 eggs next week.

I am actually thankful that I don't have "too many" follicles. I have heard that women with too many follicles find this process very painful and there are some risks that I basically don't have to worry about. Keeping a positive attitude :)

Nurse Jo was stellar on the needles tonight. She's got the Follistim pen down to a science.
