This morning I went for my first monitoring visit since I have started the Gonal-F (FSH) injections. I was anxiously awaiting this appt. to find out if I am responding. So, they drew another estradiol level today and then did another vaginal ultrasound. It was interesting because I laid down for the vaginal ultrasound and the ultra sound tech handed me a clipboard to record her findings. I found this a little odd but wanted to get out of there to get to work, so I went along with it.
So, here were the findings:
Right ovary- 1 follicle 10x14
1 follicle < 10
Left ovary: 2 follicles < 10
Well, when I left I didn't know what this actually meant. So then I had to wait til later in the day to check my mailbox. Finally at 3 pm I got a chance to check it and the messages was...
You're estradiol level is 127 and we want you to increase your Gonal -F to 300 u twice daily instead of 225. So now, instead of mixing 3 vials, I have to mix 4 vials. It's a very large dose. This was a little disappointing because this means I'm not responding well enough with the previous dose. It makes me worried that won't have enough follicles. However, I know that God can work with just one to create baby and I know that it's in his hands.
Friday morning is my next check up. I will keep you posted. Until then, it's more injections...................
