Day 8 of Stims & CD 9 for IVF #2

Today is day 8 of my stimulating medications. I also had my CD 9 appointment with Dr. Saleh for the U/S and E2. It is looking really good, he said, but he needs to keep a close eye on me. My lining is 12.9, with a triple line/layer, which he said is great! The only thing of concern is that my ovaries are producing lots of follies. He said 10++ on both ovaries, which I really am not sure exactly what that means. He did say that he does not want to overstimulate me, so he will reduce the meds to avoid OHSS and all of them growing at the same time. He said my problem is definitely not proding eggs! I talked to Kylie and she gave me the new instructions to the meds as follows:
  • Lupron 5 units QAM
  • Gonal-F 75U QPM (lower dose)
  • Folica Acid 3mg QD
  • Dexamethasone 0.75 mg QD
  • Heparin 5000U BID
  • Menopur 1 vial QPM
  • Prentatal vitamins 1 QD
This is for today, tomorrow, wednesday and thursday morning. It looks like I will be "coasting," like she said. Therefore, my ER will more than likely not take place until early next week rather than the end of this week.

I also went and saw my LAc and told her what was going on. She did my session and put the needles on my back again with the electrodes on them. She said the excess follies are a result of PCOS but there is no need of concern.
