So today I went in for my Day 9 ultrasound. On Day 6, I had four follies: 7mm, 12 mm, 12 mm and 14 mm. Today, I had 8 mm, 8 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm and 21 mm.

My estradiol was only 199, which concerns me, because I wanted it to be quite a bit higher. The doctor said he was really surprised by my response to the stims, though. He said that the stims really sped me up, and we were lucky I am taking Cetrotide or I'd be ovulating now.

Unfortunately, the FSH treatment seems to speed up my egg production, rather than increase it. Ideally, we want to have a few follicles at a similar size, instead of a dominant follicle. But, I still am making a dominant follicle. That's frustrating.

So, tonight I gave myself my last FSH shot, and another Cetrotide shot, and I'll do my last Cetrotide tomorrow morning. Then, I'll give myself an HCG trigger to tell the eggs to release.

Then - and here is the big news! - I go in for an IUI Monday morning.

Nervous, nervous. I hope it works.
