Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes for the loss of my friend Kevin. I will be sure his spirit lives on with me always. Death sadly is a part of life and while we grieve here on earth I know that he is watching over all of us and completely at peace. It's knowing that which helps me to remember him with a smile on my face <3
Today is a very good day- I just returned from the RE's- I have continued growth in almost all my follicles. The average size is around 18mm right now with some at 20mm and some around 13mm and a few scattered in between.
My lining is at 12mm!! (Woot!)
Tonight I will stim for hopefully the last night with my Gonal-F upped to 300 IU, Menopur 225 IU, Dexamethasone .25 and Ganirelex 225 mcg.
The hope is that upping the Gonal-F will help give some of the smaller follicles a little bump and a chance at being mature. The hope is to retrieve over 10 mature eggs and we are pretty close to that right now.
I return for another scan tomorrow and my retrieval should be on Thursday. It's not set in stone just yet, but Dr. V sounded pretty confident in it.
I'm still feeling pretty good and I'm excited as we move forward. It's been a long journey to get to this point of utter peace. I know that my doctors are doing their very best. I know that my body is doing its very best. And I know that the rest is truly up to God.
Good things really are coming :) I can feel it and I'm choosing to stay positive and not think about any other outcome other than being pregnant as we move forward<3 I know that being so positive could set me up for a fall if things don't go as planned-- but life is like that. You never know what the very next moment will bring and I am choosing to live in hope that good things are coming.
That the best is yet to come.
Good for you, girl! Hopeful for you! What an awesome lining!!! It sounds like very good things are coming!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Im so excited that my lining looks great and things are truly coming together!
DeleteWoohoo on that lining and follicle sizes! Sending good thoughts your way on retrieval day. So sorry to hear about your friend.
ReplyDeleteHe will be deeply missed. Thanks for the good thoughts!!
DeleteYay! I think you are doing yourself a great justice by being positive and not preparing for the worst. I think if we constantly prepare ourselves for failure, it's like reliving it twice if in fact failure does happen. Why do that to ourselves, right? Besides, where the mind goes energy flows! Thinking good positive thoughts for you!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! I love that saying- "where the mind goes energy flows!" So perfect for how I feel!
DeleteI love your positive attitude! Good things are always coming your way because God is wonderful and LOVES to bless His baby girls :)
