I could set this post up by saying that I started getting nervous last night. I started to prepare myself for the possibility that everything could all be over at today’s ultrasound. I could be cancelled. It could all be over. It’s happened before.
But I won’t do that. Instead I will cut to the chase and let you know the results of today’s CD9 ultrasound.
Holy Crap. I’ve never seen so many follicles before. My left ovary had three measurable follicles with three or four to hopefully catch up. My right ovary (always the overachiever) had seven or eight measurable follicles.
I can’t believe it.
I’ve learned the hard way that with IVF you have to take it one day at a time. Each milestone passed is just another hurdle crossed and no indication of future success. I’ve read that sometimes ladies get more follicles with HGH, but the quality is still not improved. Quantity means nothing without quality.
But all that being said, this is the best response I’ve had at this point in the game so I can’t help but feel somewhat optimistic.
If anything, it beats being cancelled.

One goal a time. One goal at a time. What a beautiful goal to have achieved so far. Thinking of you as you take your steps in this journey. *hugs*
Quality over quantity, sure. But in this game, I believe that quantity gives you a better chance at getting quality.
Congratulations on today's news. I hope the news gets better every day!
Praying for excellent quality follies!! WOOT!! WOOT!!
As someone who has been cancelled before, YAY for not being cancelled! Do you know your E2 levels? They say that high E2 is indicative of egg quality so that might give you an idea whether it's quantity + quality...
That is awesome news! Keep up the good work, madame ovaries!
Awesome, so much better than being cancelled!!!!
Yay!!!! That is SUCH a relief, even though OF COURSE we are only at the very beginning here. My donor apparently is heavily laden with follies too, maybe you will trigger at the same time! Best of luck to you- only a little longer...
Whoo hoo! You are SO right! That's great news. One day at a time, one day at a time! Pass some of that my way! :-)
That's really great news! Bodes well for the coming days for sure. Congrats. :)
Wonderful to hear!
Excellent news. Now keep at it for the next stage.
YAY! It is always nice to hear good news!
HOoray!
Great news! I just finished a cycle with Sai.zen, and while it was the slowest cycle ever, it was by far the best cycle I ever had. Hoping it will be that way for you too - it sure is looking good so far!!
Good luck!! Hope this is a great cycle resulting in a BFP for you!
Holy Batman, indeed! That's awesome! I hope they keep on growing!
You better crank that Hope-O-Meter up, Girlfriend!
Amazing. One leggo block at a time. :)

I have all my fingers and tows crossed for you!
One hurdle at a time! Thinking of you and sending positive vibes!
yeah!!! crossing it all for you and sending you sticky gooey baby dust from cairo my friend. I too was so glad to know my body may be attacking my embryos, i also did something about it, lets hope that our IV's of hope (love that) bring on the babies!
"Holy follicles, batman" - hehehehe. That IS quite a lot of follicles.
YAY!!!!! I love hearing this. I know quality really is the key...but quantity is a great thing too...chances of one or more being "the one" increase the more you have....YAY!!!!!
Super fantastic news! I'm so happy that your ovaries are steppin' up their game. =)
Looking forward to your next update!
I wish you the best of luck :-)
