Good news! My appointment today revealed a few more follicles. I have 5 on the right and 5 on the left. I can't remember the measurements, except that one on each side is a bit larger than the rest. So they gave me the Cetrotide today to give the smaller follicles a chance to catch up. They did alter my dosages a little today; I am still on 450 of Follistim but have been told to take 10 u Ovidrel microdose every other day. Forgot to pay attention to what my uterine lining was. I don't even know what my E2 and progesterone levels are. I am beginning to let go of this numbers thing a bit. It gives me less fuel by which to compare myself to others. Am definitely feeling some growth down there, so I guess I am calming down a bit. Also, many thanks to those of you that talked me off the ledge the other day. I am really zen-kaaron after all.
I think Follistim is giving me gigantic zits. I feel like I've got Mount Vesuvius on the back of my neck. And a couple more little monsters cropped up yesterday near by eyebrow. Ugh.
Our V-day dinner was nice. We went to a charming restaurant called DaMarco. Absolutely delicious. A had the beef ravioli appetizer, and I had a salad with prosciutto and fig crostini. For entrees, A had the filet on a bed of braised artichoke hearts and I had the black truffle risotto. A ordered a nice bottle of wine, and I let myself have about a tablespoon just to have a taste. Didn't put my ovaries to sleep like I feared it might! Woohoo! For dessert, I had the creme brulee with blood orange sorbetto and A had a flourless chocolate cake. Yummers all around.
Yesterday was my last day at work for 3 weeks. So I will be a lady of leisure. One cannot be a true lady of leisure without the perfect manicure and pedicure. So I am doing that today with my friend before going to a party tonight.
Why is spell check still not working? Seriously.
