This morning, I had my first scan to see how many eggs I have. Before my appointment, I was really nervous. We've never had great numbers, but it's been 3 years since my first IVF, and I was really worried that they would be even lower.
First, she scanned my right side. When she said there were 3 follicles, my heart dropped. But I was so relieved to find out that my left side made up for it with SEVEN, for a total of 10 follicles. I breathed a huge sigh of relief and texted my husband. Only about 1 in 7 of my eggs are normal, so we need this number! I'm especially surprised because for our second IVF (which resulted in Baby A!) I only had 8 follicles on day five! That's two whole more, years later!

This is a great number!! Can't wait to hear how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amie! I can't help but be excited. But, I'm also reminding myself we have a 10% chance of it working...and am making plans for the week I find out it didn't.
DeleteYay! I think you'll be so glad you did this, either way, so you can always know you did everything you could. You guys rock at parenting, by the way. Love, Kj
ReplyDeleteThat is very sweet - thank you for your continued support Kj! xoxo
DeleteAHHHHHH This is so exciting! 10 FOLLICLES--- what an accomplishment. I can't wait to see where this treatment cycle takes you. Sending positive vibes and keeping you in my prayers. This infertility journey is far from easy, but, from the brief time I've spent on your site, I can see you're a fighter. You've been through a lot over the years (especially with your moms illness). You've got this IVF Cycle. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteWow! that sounds so complicated and I'm amazed that you can just roll out this out here for everyone. I'm sure you're encouragement to others who are going thru this! You've got this lady!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! You'll get the desires of your heart!
