So far, things have been moving along nicely. Turns out that the Follistim pen, unlike my other injections, is much easier to administer in my abdomen than my leg. Today’s U/S showed 22 follicles, with the largest at 13 mm. Unfortunately, 15 of the 22 are residing on my left ovary along with my two endometriomas. To say that I am experiencing back pain would be the understatement of the year. Of course, this seems like a small price to pay for a baby.
After I left the RE today, the nurse called me with my bloodwork results.
E2=1785
“A little high” she says.
Hmmm. I would not appreciate OHSS being part of my future. Dr. Soap has decided to reduce my follistim dose and check me again in the morning. I don’t seem to have any symptoms other than back pain….shockingly, I have actually lost 2 pounds so far during this process.
Please let this work.
