And we're off

So I went in for my blood test and ultrasound today. After a frustrating morning at the doctor where they couldnt find my appointment and I had to wait FOREVER while everyone else got to go before me, I finally got to go in. The ultrasound showed that I still have a cyst, and the doctor keeps mentioning endometriosis because this cyst has been in my last 4 ultrasounds and isnt going away. I did a blood test, and they said they would call me with the results to see if I can start the stronger shots to get the process going, or if I would have to wait another week because of the cyst, as it could raise my estrogen levels. I went home feelings so frustrated and defeated! I climbed in bed, took a nap, and then got a call from the nurse. My estrogen level is perfect!!!! YES!!! She said they are going to empty the cyst during the retrieval so it wont interfere with anything. This means I get to continue as scheduled, and I start my next shot on Sunday. This one will be twice a day, once in the morning and once and night, along with my other shot still once a day. 3 shots a day!! This next shot should start to stimulate the development of my follices, and over the next week I get to watch, and feel them grow. I go back to the dr. on Tuesday for another blood test to see where we are at. At my meeting with the embryologist, she said I had 17 follicles, while most people have 10 to 12. So she said they may be able to get about 20 eggs out, which would be awesome! Continue to pray for us, as Im sure this next week will be pretty emotional with all of the shots and as they dosages get stronger. Hopefully I respond well to the medicine, and we can stay on track with the calendar!!
