Disappointing follicle scan

I was really hoping to trigger tonight or tomorrow and be done with these horrible estrace tablets (inserted vaginally and resulting in gritty residue-ugh). But apparently, my lining and follicles are not yet onboard.

I am tired of this cycle already and it's only day 11. I had an u/s and bloods this morning and have to go back in for another u/s on Wednesday. I also had to order a refill of the Gonal-F and do another injection tomorrow night. Follicles are currently right side: 15x14; left: 16x15 and 12x10 and my lining is only a 6. So, maybe insems by the end of the week. I know all the monitoring is good, but it's exhausting and quite a pain scheduling-wise.

I'm sorry everything is dragging. I hope those follies make it up to you and they are big and juicy later this week.

I hear you about the monitoring. It is a good thing but at the same time, I hate having to drive there and deal with the dildo cam everyday. I'm over it!

I love the term 'dildo cam' -- I'm thinking of co-opting it :) -- I completely empathize -- I'm starting the new cycle tomorrow with the baseline -- and then I'm right in the boat with you sister. Injectibles and many trips to the doctor. I hope the end of the week finds you ready to trigger!

I totally understand about the monitoring frustration. It's good, yet it sucks too. Hang in there.

I hope things are better at the next scan.

Wanted to let you know that I added you to the list too for the book tour.
