February 28, 2011 Day 6 Stimulation

Today is Day 6.  I still have 22 follicles that seem to be maturing nicely.  I have not experienced any weight gain or uncomfortable bloating.

February 26, 2011 Stimulation Day 4

Nothing new

February 25, 2011 Stimulation Day 3

I went to the RE today and got my blood drawn this morning.

I also took my third injection and things are still going good.  I have no significant symptoms yet.  I think I am feeling a little bloated, but a feeling only of have to use the bathroom.

My husband had to start his twice a day doxycycline.

We cheated today, my husband is an OB/GYN so I went in to measure some of the follicles.  I already had one that was a 12mm.  I need at least three that are 11mm+ by Sunday.

We also went to the gym and I did light weights and then walked slowly on the treadmill at a steep incline for 30 minutes.  I didn't get to run/walk as far as usual and I didn't get to burn as many calories as usual, but I feel good for doing it.

February 24, 2011 Stimulation Day 2

Today is day 2 and I don't feel any different.  I am still not feeling my ovaries swelling.

February 23, 2011 Stimulation Day 1

Today was stimulation Day 1.  I went to the office at 7:30 am for a urine pregnancy test and vitals.  From there I was taken to ultrasound to have my follicles counted.  She counted 10 on the right and 8 on my left.  They ranged in size from 2mm-8mm.  After that they drew 5 vials of blood.  I got my first injection and was monitored for 30 minutes.  After 30 minutes I had little to no marking on my belly.

The next hoop is to have at least 3 follicles at or above 11mm.
Give myself a shot tomorrow before noon time.
Friday have a Stimulation Day 3 appointment.

All is good so far : )
