As soon as we see the ultrasound, it's an immediate difference. My ovaries look kind of like a honeycomb, full of nicely developing little caverns. There's still one big one, measuring around 17mm now. We're hoping that another 8 - 10 catch up.
Estrogen levels are rising... today's number is 405. I'm also starting to feel the ovaries stretching, which is a welcome but not so comfortable side effect. It kind of always feels like I've just eaten a big meal. I feel full, and am a little swollen. The mirror doesn't lie, and neither do my jeans!
It's getting harder and harder to stay out of the numerous chat rooms. With every new thing that my body does, I'm tempted to google.
And the ever growing pharmacy is taking over my kitchen.
The truth is that we won't know until we know. We're expecting egg retrieval to happen between Wednesday and Friday of this week. We'll just have to wait and see if enough follicles develop at the right time. Fingers crossed!
