this morning mom and i drove down to GBMC in Towson. I was super excited to be able to have mom with me for my appointment! Sometimes i see women go in with their mothers for appointments and I am always jealous :) I want my mommy, too!
we were at my mom's house for my high school reunion this weekend, so we knew we'd have to make a plan for the monitoring appointments. at first i planned on going to rockville but mom thought that GBMC would be much closer, which it was. and what a beautiful campus GBMC is! it is absolutely beautiful! you turn off of Charles St into the entrance and you are in a wooded wonderland-- beautiful trees, landscaped walkways, so peaceful. i really loved it there. i would have liked to have explored it more!
for my monitoring a doctor came in with me, Dr. Katz, and was telling me a little more about the follicles, etc. he didn't think i'd need monitoring the next day and said everything was progressing nicely. i had 15 follicles on the right and 4 or 5 on the left. the left ovary is definitely really lazy!!!
on our way home from the appointment mommy and i stopped at target and got some clothes :) nothing like retail therapy!
the nurse called int he afternoon with my instructions. start ganirellix, increase menopur to 225 iu. My estrogen was 635 which is kind of high but I think it's okay because of my number of follicles :)
yayyyyy!
**i just read something that said e2 levels average about 200 per mature egg at retrieval.
