Today was my CD7 scan to check on how the old ovaries were doing. . . I knew they'd started to wake up because I was feeling some discomfort, especially in the hours after my injection.
When I went in to see Dr. Awesome this morning, I had taken 4 daily injections of generic Menopur (HMG/Lepori) at 225iu, 225iu, 225iu, and 150iu. We were planning on another 4-6 days of injections (minimum) before trigger. Well, as luck would have it, I'm evidently very sensitive to this medication and I have FOUR mature follicles already. Three on my right and one on my left, all measuring 17.6mm-19.1mm. RIDICULOUS. My endometrium was already a healthy 8.2mm with a triple layer, so it should be a nice and squishy landing pad in a couple days time (this is better than I have had in the last several cycles on trigger day!).
So, the plan is that I would do one more injection of 225iu this evening, then tomorrow at 10pm (Thursday, CD9) I will trigger and we will IUI around 10am on Saturday (CD11).
Within an hour or so of my injection this evening, my ovaries started protesting. . . evidently they weren't happy with another dose of drugs. My 9pm, I could barely stand up straight and had to hobble out to the car and swallow three ibuprofen. I made it home and am now snuggled up with the heating pad on my belly. Thankfully, the ibuprofen took the brunt of the pain away. I hope this doesn't mean early ovulation for me, I'll temp the next couple of mornings just in case. We are suppose to BD tonight anyway (thankfully the meds are working!) and then abstain until our Saturday morning collection time.
Here's to baby making! With luck, the New Year will bring glad tidings indeed!
