We’re currently on day two of the cycle. Day two means that I go in for a base-line scan to make sure my uterine lining is shedding correctly and to count the number of follicles that have the potential to release eggs. On this day I typically also have blood work done. Because I had blood work done so recently (two weeks ago), I got to skip this goodness today. Awesome.
I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS patients typically either produce very low (or no) egg counts or very high egg counts – this is why they’re very strict on the amount of medication I take.
As of now, I have 42 follicles with the potential of growing to release eggs. To put this into perspective, on the cycle that worked with Violet, I had 38 follicles with potential.
Today I was also reminded of how dramatically fertility meds can effect my emotions. While driving to the doctor I saw a convoy of work vans from Phoenix. I started thinking about how nice it is that these people were willing to come to Houston to help our city get back on schedule post-Hurricane Ike. Then I started thinking about their families. Next thing I know, my face is a waterfall...
It was a long day. Me and my 42 follicles are going to sleep. Shots start tomorrow.
