Sigh of Relief
So yesterday, I got a call from the nurse who told me that my estrogen was 217. She said that that was slightly higher than when I started and that there were expecting to see a dip. Apparently with the Estrogen Priming Protocol, your estrogen dips, then steadily increases, and then there is supposed to be spike. This supports the ’slow burn’ analogy. She said that I had to return for an u/s the next day, in other words, today.
Last night I was really nervous, but I am happy to report that this morning the doctor said that everything looks good. He said that I would probably start the gan.i.rilex tonight and that I should be stimming for about 6 to 7 more days. I have multiple follicles on both sides and they are all still approximately the same size, which is very good.
So I was able to exhale a little bit. I still have a long way to go until I really let out a big breath but for the time being, I was able to let out a tiny one.
I’m waiting for them to call me to let me know what my estrogen is today and whether or not I have to go back tomorrow.
Thanks again for all of your support and special thanks to Flora, the fertility goddess and cycle namesake.
Yay for the exhale!
