IVF 3



Time to start monitoring the follicles containing the individual eggs. We went to the hospital on 25th August (10am) for an ultrasound. Apparantely, my uterus is normal in size and shape (that's a relief!), the endometrial thickness is 7.2mm with double layers.. I suppose this is okay too.. haven't been told otherwise. My right ovary (where fallopian tube was removed) contains 4 follicles ranging from 9.4 to 12.2 mm, the left only one follicle of 10.1mm. The follicle sacs need to be 10-12mm big.. but we need more than 5 seeing as some may not be healthy.. there are several other ones which are much smaller and still need to develop further. Up goes the dose to 300mm per injection for another three days... more hormones, another bill and trip home with the freezer box. Next appointment is on Thursday 28th. I have stopped working at school completely now and have just my one private at home. Last night, I had a great girlie night with my Thai friend, lots of chatting over dinner in a Vietnamese restaurant and a feel good chick flick movie 'The Made of Honour'.. just what a girl needs ;-)
