Alrighty, here's the update on what's been going on here in DFW...
Monday's date with Mr. Weenie Wand (as we surrogates so affectionately call him) showed that my follicles were growing nicely but not where we needed to be so a few more days would be required. My lining was 8mm and I two follicles on the right, one at 13.57mm and one at 12.88mm. I was told to continue the Menopur daily and the Follistim every other day and come back in on Wednesday.

Wednesday we expected that we'd be ready by then but they were still a little shy of where they needed to be. My lining was good at 9.70mm and the follicles were now at 16.03mm and 15.25mm respectively. They did a blood draw just to get an idea of where my levels were and also instructed me to take the Follistim every day again along with the Menopur and again come back on Friday.
Today is Friday. I took my Menopur when I woke up and proceeded to get ready for my appointment. Once we were there, we got the good news that I was ready to go!! The follicles were now at 19.67mm (the big player!!) and 16.46mm (our potential second player). Dr. Elkins told me to trigger right away after the appointment and she'd do the IUI tomorrow morning! So, I've triggered these little eggies already and tomorrow morning at 0830 central time, we'll be working on getting knocked up!
Jonathan is super excited that this moment has finaly arrived! Now comes the hard part of the dreaded 2 week wait. Although, who am I kidding? I won't last nearly that long before I start testing and Jonathan has already made it perfectly clear that I'm to go ahead and let him know what the results are on any tests I do at home! LOL Clearly, he doesn't want to wait any longer than I do! Our beta test will be scheduled for Friday, April 18.
Here we go!!!!
