Two more days have passed and my follicles are still growing very slowly. At this morning's appointment the nurse said 'you're definitely not making Type A babies in there.'
The right ovary is showing some follicle growth, but the left, not so much. The nurse referred to the left as the 'cheering section' and said they weren't doing much of anything over there. I'll take the trigger shot when most of the follicles reach 1.8-2.0 cm (and the retrieval will be 36 hours later), but only about half of mine are over 1.0 cm at this point.
It's day 8 of the stimulation process, and under the original plan I would be triggered Monday night and we would retrieve on Wednesday. Considering that they cancelled my appointment altogether for Monday and said come back for another ultra-sound and bloodwork on Tuesday, I am assuming we're not retrieving on Wednesday and maybe not even on Thursday.
The nurse assured me there is no time limitation, we'll just keep going until they're ready. They did reduce my Follistim down to 150 units starting tonight. That doesn't really make sense to me if that is what makes the follicles grow, but I'm not the doctor, obviously.
