Just keep growing, just keep growing...

The follicle update is in...

On Wednesday we had two measurable follicles. This morning we had 10 measurable follicles. Yea for Follistim!

Retrieval will be next week, but we don't know when yet. It depends on the sizes of the follicles. They would like for them to be around 18-20mm for retrieval. Right now, my biggest is 13mm. As a side note, they have to be 10mm to be considered measurable. So it's also a good thing that most of mine are growing at the same rate.

For those of you who knew about my bloodwork situation last week, the staff has all started labeling my vials right in front of me. For those of who you didn't hear, last week had quite the Friday. I had my blood drawn and the ultrasound done (a normal monitoring appointment), and then I left to work in Champaign for the day. At about 10 a.m., I got a call from the doctor's office saying that they had an unlabeled vial and couldn't find my vial, but also couldn't assume the unlabeled one was mine. They quickly found a place for me to have it redrawn in Champaign, and after dealing with the registration process at that clinic, I had it drawn and was back on track again. The in-person version of that story is much longer, but I assume most of you will be happy with the short and sweet version.

Next appointment: possibly this weekend, or Monday for sure
