It Was Not Great.

Not much else to say, and honestly, too discouraged to really write too much anyway.

I had 3 follicles on one side, 4 on the other.  They averaged 8-10 mm, mostly on the 8 mm side and who knows if they'll keep going?

Worst?

My estrogen was 101.

It should have been that 4 days ago.

They upped my medicine to as high as it can go for both the Bravelle and the Menopur.  Want to keep watching and seeing...they feel somewhat optimistic that 4 more follicles popped up and are hoping that  this could happen still, but I know...

The big(gest) guns are out.

They won't consider canceling until Monday to see how tomorrow and Monday morning are.

I just keep thinking back to this post...and praying that though this is even more drastic than I thought that was, Day 8 will strike again.

But really, it's not great.  Today was not great.  I cannot, cannot, cannot believe my estrogen.  That Lupron sure did do a great job of suppression.

Stupid Lupron.

  6. Praying today for you. So frustrating when we want something so bad to go without a hitch and these major bumps in the plan occur. I really hope the big guns produce over the next two days.

  7. I don't understand very much about IVF. But, I do understand being angry and hurt when your body doesn't do what it's supposed, even when we're using science to help it along. I'm so hopeful for you, Lori, and I wish I could do something with that hope, make something happen for you. Life is so cruel sometimes and I just don't understand it. :( Sending all my love, hugs, and hope.
