The moment we've been waiting for is just around the corner!
I had my monitoring ultrasound this morning. My lining was about 5mm and I had several follicles on both ovaries. One was around 12mm (could be the residual cyst) and the others were around 9mm each.
Michelle called me this afternoon and said that I am responding really well. They want me to come out for an appointment with them on Monday, March 31. In the meantime, I'm to keep taking the 75IU of Menopur daily in the mornings but the 75IU of Follistim every other day (today and Saturday) until the appointment and we'll re-evaluate at that time. She said that we could very well trigger on Monday but if not, it shouldn't much later than a day or to for the Ovidrel. She said that we're definitely on track for our IUI.
Sorrell and I decided that we're gonna drive out there with the kids this time. One, it'll be a nice little trip for us all to take and get away together and the kids can play at the pool and two, it should be cheaper for Jonathan than having to pay for two last minute roundtrip flights and childcare. Instead we just claim the milage.
So we're gearing up and will head out Sunday morning to get in by Sunday evening. Kristen went ahead and booked the hotel room through the 6th but I'd be surprised if we're there that long. I'd say Thursday or Friday at the latest!
Regardless, things look like they're finally working for us the way we want them to so positive, fertile thoughts. Hopefully we get one little egg to fertilize and get cozy in there! :)
