Day 14 of Lucrin - Day 7 of Puregon

I had a blood test this morning, followed by an ultrasound.
Both events were short and sweet, and were relatively comfortable.

The sonographer handed me a pad with a pen and asked me to write numbers as she scanned!
She had an "E" which i wrote a 3 against.
Then against the "L" which stood for Left ovary i wrote 4, and against "R" (right ovary) i wrote 0.
I have no freakin idea what any of that even meant, but i thought it was worth a mention ;) since ill have nothing important to report until the rusults of this mornings tests come back in a few hours.

The Nurse called me at around 12pm with todays results. Sadly my body hasnt responded "as well" to the FSH as it should be, so i have to increase the Puregon dose to 450 starting from tomorrow. I will stay at this dose (along with the Lucrin) and go in for another blood test and scan on Saturday morning.

She explained that the follicles appeared to be too small to even count (4mm or under) and that typically around day 10-12 they should measure approx 16mm. Even though im only on around day 7 of my FSH, i can see im a bit behind in the growing department :(
So - hopefully the increased dose doesn't mean increased side effects!
