Today hubby and I was due for a dr's appointment at 0800. However, due to a late night, watching Federar came back from behind to win his semi finals match, we missed our alarm clock and was almost late for our appointment. Today was the day I was supposed to get my follies checked. Checked I did.
The dr said there was about 13 eggs. However only 5 are of measurable size - 18, 15, 13, 12 and 8. The other 8 are too small for them to measure for now. I was hoping I will have more eggs that I can use and freeze for future use. Dr did mention that usually people will either decide to abort the cycle or still continue. After much discussion, hubby and me decided that we are just gonna continue and try and leave the rest to fate. I have been asked to continue with 200 units of Puregon for 2 more days. I will come in again on Monday to check on the follicles size and decide when the egg pick up will be.
I am a little sad with the outcome of the egg size. I was hoping for better results. Dr said that I could be a poor responder to the medication. If I am a poor responder why didnt they increase my dosage. Well I guess they know what they are doing.
Well that is my update for now. By the way today, I was given a different kind of Puregon. The injection doesnt use the normal pen. It uses the normal syringe. N the medicine kinds of stings a little more than usual... Like a wound area getting chillied. Well I just hope my eggs will keep growing and growing. Will update again when I feel like up to it.
