Checkup #1

Oh it was so so early this morning when I woke up. I actually told my alarm clock "I'm trying ok?" when the buzzer went off. It was still unyielding in its attempts to awaken me.

I had my blood taken and went in for an ultrasound. Here's a brief review.... When I first started in December, I had 15 antral follicles. Then I went on BCP's for about a month. Before I started stims, I had 11 follicles. Today, we could see 10 growing for sure...and possibly one lil tiny one. Of course, I was hoping to go in and see 20, but that was a long shot for sure. The good news is that the 10 left are growing right on schedule. I'm really hoping no more drop out though.

I also asked about the fact that I haven't gotten my period since stopping the bcps. Apparently, this is not going to happen. The nurse said "take whatever you know about a natural cycle and throw it out the window!" allrighty then!

I have another appt on Friday and then one on Saturday too. arrrrgh....so tired.

Another recent side effect is being caused by the baby aspirin I'm taking once a day. I've been bleeding a little when I do my shots now and also with the acupunture. I found a bruise on my lower abdomen last night. I think it's from the acupunture since I didn't do shots there. I'm surprised a baby aspirin has so much effect. hinky!
