CD11 check -- follies are doing OK but aren't ready, yet. Two dominant on each side -- 11.3, 13.5 on the left, 12.5 and 14.7 on the right. Crazy how different a cycle can be on the same protocol -- this time last cycle I had 22 and 24 mm follies ready to pop with a great lining (around 9 mm, I think). This time, not so much -- follies still growing but only a 5 mm lining as of now. Ick. My RE called a few hours after the scan and ordered estrogen to try to build it up since I've had lining issues before. I have to go back on Thursday for another u/s to check the lining. I'm feeling good about the follies, though -- hopefully by the time we trigger (Thursday if the lining is OK) we'll have at least three nice ones. The IUI is scheduled for Saturday assuming all goes well.
I'm disappointed in the lining, but I'm actually good with the more slowly developing follies. I've been so stressed all week because an IUI Thursday or Friday would have been really bad timing work-wise. I wasn't sure how we were going to do it. When I called to give my DH the report I asked "what's the best day for an IUI?" And he yelled "Saturday!!"
I told the nurse it was because my DH was telling my ovaries to slow down. (He was. It was funny.)
I'm currently wearing 4 estrogen patches. Can't wait to see what this new dose of hormones does to me!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, lock your doors -- crazy rebecca is coming!!
I hope those four estrogen patches help your lining! They better!!
ReplyDeleteI hope those slower growing follies are good news. I can't wait to hear how many you end up with.
It seems there is a cute bunch of follies growing in there. I am sure your lining will pick up while the follies are growing!
ReplyDeleteHope the patches will treat you nice.
FX for a great follow-up visit and for fabulous numbers!
Grow follies, grow!!!
I hope the estrogen helps your lining. I used the pills with both of my cycles and it made a huge difference. Crossing my fingers for a good u/s on Thursday so you get your Saturday IUI. Grow, follies!!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully something different than the past is a good thing =) My guess is that since your body is putting energy into more follies they are growing slower. It seems they sprint to the finish though so they should be plumping up here soon. FX for your lining, I'm sure the estrogen patches will do their job, GL!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Caryn and going with different is a great thing! Hope the crazy stays at a minimum.... :)
