I'm on stim day 2. AFC was on Saturday and it was so-so. There were 5 on the right and 3 on the left. Dr K did the u/s though, and she has never found many follicles when she does the u/s. I'm hoping that at the stim day 5 u/s there are more follies growing.
Stims are going ok. I've been sick the past 2 days with aches, headaches, sore throat and sore ears. I also have had a mild fever. I think it was just a bug I picked up from the nanny kiddos, but who knows. The menopur shot still is stinging (as it has in the past for me). I can't figure out how to make it NOT sting, so I'll just push through it. I only have to do it for 3 more days. I'm on 450 units of gonal-f and 150 units of menopur. I'm guessing (based on the last couple of IVFs) that the dosage will stay the same until Thursday. At that point my RE drops the menopur and doubles up on the gonal-f. My poor old ovaries really need all the extra meds to get them going.
The only major side effect that I'm attributing to the meds and not the bug is major mood swings. I was a wreck today. I stayed home from work to rest and watched movies. Every emotional thing I watched today (movies, commercials, tv shows) had me crying. Fun.
I'm heading back to the RE tomorrow for b/w and then to work. Hopefully the ER will be here before I know it...
