I know I'm a little behind, but I wanted to post a separate update about April 9 and April 10 separately. On April 9, I had an ultrasound scheduled with Becky (well, it was one of her technicians, but still) in the morning. On the ultrasound, they found 2 great looking follicles on my left side. One was measuring 11mm and the other 9mm. All the other follicles on both sides were still around the 4/5mm size. However, the dominant follicles should have been measuring at least 15mm. At this point we had to make a decision. We could 1) do nothing and hope the 2 dominant ones continue growing on their own, 2) use more Clomid and hope that encourages them to grow more, or 3) use an FSH injection to really encourage them to grow. It was a pretty easy decision when Becky told us that most likely they wouldn't be able to grow on their own anymore at this point and by using Clomid, if it even worked at all, it could potentially recruit all the eggs to grow more which increases the risk of multiples. So our plan of action was to do the FSH injection and then I would come back on Monday (4/13) to see if the follicles are big enough to trigger ovulation. The FSH injection was actually delivered to my work and then David gave me the injection that night. He did a very good job and I'm proud of him. It really didn't hurt at all. So far, I never received any side effects from the injection, I didn't even get a bruise.
