Not much growth in my follicles since Wednesday's measurement. There was a little bit, but just not as much as they expected to see. That said, they didn't increase the dosage of any of my medications, so they must not be too bothered. The nurse said it might mean, if I continue to respond slowly, that our retrieval gets moved out to next Thursday or Friday. This is not the first time I have been called a pokey turtle.
On the bright side, we get to skip driving down to south Denver tomorrow morning for another checkup. We were supposed to go in on Saturday and Sunday, but now we just have to go on Sunday. It takes about 45 minutes to get to the CCRM facility in south Denver, and they only see patients on the weekend between 7 and 9 am.
The nurse also reminded me that I am supposed to be eating a lot of salty foods during this process. It seems like someone told me that at some point, and that I wrote it down somewhere, but I had forgotten. She said live it up because this is the only time in your life a doctor is going to tell you to eat more sodium!
Nurse Ann went to Target and got me some Gatorade because it has loads of sodium. Quite unhealthy, really. Also, in honor of national donut day, she brought back cream puff pastries that were made in the shape of a swan. Since that's not technically a donut, I think I qualify for having one tomorrow. Donuts are currently banned from my diet, but I think having just one in honor of national donut day is allowable, don't you?

I think eating donuts is perfectly acceptable, and I also read somewhere that full-fat ice-cream is good "conception" food. Oh the joys of procreation!
