I had my 2nd u/s on Wed. The Dr. saw 18 follicles!!! I'm super excited. He said he considers good anywhere between 15 and 20. And my med dose is exactly where it should be. He didn't have to change it. Most of the follicles were about 8mm. They should grow about 2mm each day until they get to maturity - between 18 and 20mm. I go back tomorrow for another u/s and b/w to see if they are still growing at a normal rate. And I'll probably have to go back again Mon. or Tues. At this point it looks like egg retrieval will be July 5. Less than a week! Then egg transfer would be July 8. I'm really starting to feel things now. I'm feeling fuller and bloated. But it's worth it. I know there are lots of little eggs growing in there I hope they are developing well and can eventually produce some good embryos.
On the job front, I had an interview on Wed. It went well. I should hear back in a couple weeks. If I am offered the job then I will have a tough decision to make. I really want a new job, but I want to make sure it's the right one this time. So I don't want to just jump at the first one that comes along. But then again this could be the perfect job. It does sound quite interesting. And very different than what I do now. It would be new and challenging and a very different environment. So, we'll see what happens.
Thanks for the support. I'll keep you posted on how things progress with the IVF.
