I had an appointment on Fri.--too high.
And one today--going down, but still too high.
I'll go in again on Wed. to see if they've leveled out.
I'm not surprised, but a bit discouraged by my ultrasound results at this point in the cycle. The stimulation drugs don't "create" eggs (all of a woman's eggs exist at the time she is born--isn't that amazing?). The drugs only stimulate growth of the eggs you already have.
The ultrasound shows the number of antral follicles in each ovary, which is a good indicator for estimating the number of immature eggs that can potentially develop in the future.
A normal antral follicle count is between 15-30 follicles. My antral follicle count is 9, which is definitely on the low end of things.
Not really a surprise--my numbers were low last time around too.
The more I dredge up the details, the more I remember what an absolute miracle it is that we have Tess.

Since you're going for quality and not quantity, I say things are going to be just fine. Give your little miracle a kiss for me! Love, Dipsy
((((((hugs)))))
If you can have one miracle, you can have two! Keeping the good thought.
xo Wendy
Another miracle-- that she's coloring on paper and not on your walls. You got yourself a good kid there!
