Monitoring #3

July 27, 2007

This is gonna be a quickie, but I wanted to be sure to check in and update for today… This morning’s appointment went well. The office was busy, so I had to wait a bit, but no big deal. Today I am on day 7 of stimming and the u/s tech found 13 follicles (13.5, […]

Monitoring #2

July 25, 2007

Here We Go Again!

July 17, 2007

I had my cycle day 21 (CD21), on the pill, appointment this morning and everything looked good (i.e. no cysts on my ovaries, which could keep us from going ahead with this cycle)! I did get clarification that I will not start my stimulation medications until this Sunday, July 22, as opposed to Saturday, July […]
