My day 6 ultrasound was okay... four follicles: 7mm, 11 mm, 12 mm and 14 mm. I started Cetrotide and increased FSH to compensate (Cetrotide will cancel out any natural FSH my body produces). Now I'm taking 225 IU per day. It's gettin' up there! My estradiol was 118.

Tomorrow morning I have yet another ultrasound. So, I have to get up at 5 am and drive to Chicago in the morning. It's very fun. Woo. Let's hope we see some good eggs.

So far, I like this cycle. I want to see some better estradiol levels, but otherwise everything is nice. Good number of follicles, growing nicely, good size spacing (there isn't one 14 mm one, and the rest are 7 mm, you see?). That means they have a better chance of maturing together.

Well, I have to go to bed now in order to get up early. I feel tired and sore. My stomach and thigh are still sore from where I injected myself a few hours ago. This infertility stuff sucks.
