Sooo today was my first follicle check. Aaron was off so he headed to Houston with me. It was nice to have him there for support and what not. We headed out around 7:45 am and boy did I want to go back to bed! Aaron was tired too since he stayed up watching the Rockets rerun game. So we got there and I had to empty my bladder then I had to wait maybe 5 minutes. They took us back into the room and unfortunately I had the xray tech. Last time I had the nurse-xray tech which I really liked. She told me the other lady, which is only an xray tech would just do the u/s's and that was it. She on the other hand could talk to me and explain the screen right then and there. So Aaron was in there with me looking all interested. She turned off the lights and then inserted the dildo cam. Well, I had emptied my bladder but I guess not good enough (I had drank a small bottle of Aquafina and about 1/4 cup of decaf coffee prior so my trip to the ladies room must have not been enough). She asked me if I had emptied it, I told her I had. Well she proceeded to move the stupid dildo thing and OMG it hurt! Then she asks "have they ever had trouble finding your left ovary?" I told her "no." She told me to push down on my left side on my belly and FINALLY she found it! OMG. When she was in search of the missing ovary. OMG. It HURT. I was wiggling and groaning in pain!! Aaron said he saw me writhing and felt so bad. It HURT. Finally she photographed the old ovaries and told me to get dressed. OH and while we were in there, right after she stuck the dildo cam in, Aaron goes "So is that the baby?" Haha... making a joke, right? Nope, the tech said nothing. No laugh, no giggle, no answer. I laughed though! She was kind of sour I guess... Oh well.

So Honey then called me into the little "secrets" room where they tell you all the secretive stuff and she told me I had one follicle measuring 10mm on my left ovary and then a bunch of smaller ones. They only measure 10mm and up on the follicles. She told me it was normal and that everything looked perfect. I had blood drawn and just got my results back a while ago. My estrogen is up to a 142. She said it was good and told me that with PCOS, sometimes we start a little slow... Hmm, I thought she said it was good? She had told me to expect a level of 200 but then when she called it was 142. Hmm... She said by Wednesday it should be way up though and that we should be able to see alot more follies.

So I am happy. I am new to IVF so there are still things I don't get but I learn everyday. Oh and tonight I start my microdose ovidrel at 10 units. Yup, thats 3 injections for me!! YOWZA. Aaron says it will be all worth it. I hope so. He was laughing when I came out of the lab and hugged me and said "you get needles stuck in you all the time". Hehe, its true. I am a pin cushion!! We are praying that I don't have to go through this again, at least not for a couple of years until we are ready for our second child (or third ;) . Hopefully?
