I went to the dr yesterday to have an ultrasound. He measured 6-8 larger follicles and then there were about 6 more that were smaller. I was hoping for a few more larger follicles (some women get 20-30 follicles), but I am trying to think positive. I also don't know if my body can produce 20-30 follicles safely. Last month, I had 6-8 large follicles and my estrogen level reached a really high level and I was at risk for hyperstimulating. That is why I am on a very low dose of medication this month. Hopefully some of the smaller follicles will catch up in the next few days. I go back again tomorrow for another ultrasound and more bloodwork.
As a side note, I was able to give myself my morning injection for the first time today. I have been lucky to have a very supportive husband that has given me all of my injections so far. Our schedules didn't work out today, so I had to do it myself. I shocked myself and I didn't feel it.

Like I said earlier today, I am so proud of you. I can't believe you could give yourself your shot. WOW! I think that is great!!! I hope that the next ultrasound will show more follicles or larger follicles or whatever it is you need. But then, like you said, it might put you at risk and we don't want that. My constant prayers will continue to come your way. I just can't keep from having good feelings about this. Hang in there, Honey, and know that I am with you guys all the way. Let me know if I can do anything. Thanks for keeping us updated. We love you and are interested in what is happening.
Love you,
GG

You have continued to be in my thoughts, and I am fervently praying for God to bless you with a little one. It is nice to be able to learn about your current undertaking through your posts. Your strength of mind and character are evident.
OK-we will be doing the "follicle" dance here in Vegas tonight!!! Thank you so much for keeping us posted. I hope you know that even though I haven't called or emailed that much, you guys have been in my thoughts and prayers throughout this journey. As you know....we experienced alot of the same things and I know how frustrating it all is. Hang in there.
Love you,
