Nice to Meet You, "Follies"!

Well, this won't be a long post but my testing on Wednesday went well. My levels looked fine so I was advised to continue on my Lupron/Follistim regimen until tomorrow morning when I'll go for more bloodwork and another ultrasound. This will be the most telling appointment yet-I'll actually get to see how many follicles (AKA "follies" in the IVF world) I've produced and what sizes they are. Hopefully I've made a lot and they're growing well!! Based on the measurements (maturity) of the follicles, the doc should be able to tell me whether or not we're getting close to retrieval. Once my follicles get to mature size, they will give me the go ahead to take the "trigger (HCG) shot" which is done precisely 36hrs before retrieval. The trigger shot will assist in the final maturation process and ensure that the mature eggs are released from the follicles at retrieval. So, in conclusion, tomorrow is a big day!! More updates soon. :)
