Month 2, Day 8.......Hooray!!!! (Post 2)

The nurse called and my estradiol level went from 70 on Wednesday to 206 today so it seems like things are looking up!!  I add the Ganirelix injection back into the protocol tomorrow.  The Ganirelix is used in this phase of the cycle to prevent premature ovulation.  The puppetmaster (aka my doctor) took control of the cycle early on and will use this to keep control until he wants me to ovulate.  When the follicles are "mature" which is indicated by size, we will use a "trigger shot" to induce ovulation 36 hours after it is administered....which is when I will have surgery.  But I am getting a little ahead of the game, lets focus on lots of healthy follicles growing like they are supposed to for now!! =)

Protocol – Fertility Drugs: Follistim 450 IU, Menopur 150 IU; Supplements: DHEA 75mg/per day, Metformin 1500mg, PreNate Essential, Fish Oil, Probiotic, Grapeseed Extract, CoQ10, baby aspirin, B12

Emotions/Sanity Check -  Excited!!  Sure wish I could have a beer....but I am grounded from alcohol hopefully for 10+ months! =)

Clinic visits – Ultrasound and Bloodwork:  7 follicles growing and estradiol is at 206.
Daily Affirmation - every aspect of my body is working just the way it needs to for everything to be perfect in the end.
