Ultrasound & Blood draw

What a day! I headed down to Murray first thing this morning to take a look at my ovaries.  And boy or boy, can I feel my ovaries! Especially the left side.  My ovaries are producing good follicles and I already have one that is measure at a 12; you want them around an 18 when you get ready to "trigger" and harvest the eggs. So in a few days, we will be ready to go!








 And since I have been through this a time or 4, I know when the ovaries start working, it's time to break out the sodium.  I have been drinking 40 oz of Gatorade a day.  So far, so good!
At my appointment this morning, upon seeing the follicles and how quickly they are growing, the Nurse Practitioner sent me straight home to start my Cetrotide. This is the medication that stops my ovaries from ovulation.  You want the follicles to stay on the ovaries and grow as much as they can before they take the follicles off of the ovaries.  The shot wasn't to bad; the needle is long and I have to mix the medication.  It had a sting to it, but overall, not to bad.
