No bueno. sd9.

Stim day 9, meaning I've completed 8 days of stims.

Follie count is something like 9 now. Well, there are 9 big follies - 17-18mm. A "handful" of others at 14mm and then some smaller ones.

Ack. I was really hoping on 10. Ten was the magic number for me to be at ease.

My lining was also lame at 7.7mm, down from yesterday? I'm sure it was just measured differently yesterday due to the lower resolution, so today's was probably more accurate.

My lining was crappy enough that he refused to do the trial transfer today and rescheduled for tomorrow. He doesn't want to 'scratch' the lining I have now - giving it another day to grow. So I held my urine for 2 hours for nothing. Poop.

And ... After 2 sticks of the hand to get blood today, it wasn't enough blood. So they took me again after my u/s and stuck me twice more. Awesome.

I have a headache. And my house smells like fish.

Any fish cookers out there? How do you get the effing fish smell out of your house after you cook it? I had some cod, which was from frozen, so it wasn't super fresh (I live in colorado, not much fresh fish to get here) and although it tasted ~good~ (I made fish and chips), it has smelled my house up. I used incense and now my house smells like fish incense.

update: E2 was 1554 and Progesterone was 1.3

cd10 follie check.

I had my cd10 follie check today ~and~ a follow up HSS this morning at Dr Frenchy's office.

Follie check was first.
~ Looks like lefty continues to be an over achiever. 3 large follicles! 2 were at ~18x13 and 1 was at 15x12mm. He said the third one won't likely make it to be one of the dominant ones, but it's still early. The other two seemed to be very happy and plump. They just need to be plump-er. There were also a "handul" of follies under 10mm.
~ Righty also has multiple follies under 10mm, but I know by the pain I'm having that they'll be a tad bit plumper for the next checkup. Maybe not dominant, but plumper.

HSS was next.
First, may I say how much I loathe speculums? HATE them. Yes yes. HATE them. Anywho. HSS showed "remarkable improvement". Still some bits of scar tissue, but probably from the recovery/healing process itself. HSS was a tad painful today, cause he thinks he broke apart some left over adhesions. Hrm, maybe that is why I've having right sided pain. Ah-ha.

So next appointment is cd13. They said to bring trigger shot as my insemination can definitely be on Saturday. Which will suck, since Tom is out of town Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday. Ouch. My eggies ~may~ hold out until then, but just in case, he's going in for a sample thursday morning at 7am to freeze - so we can use that on Saturday, if need be. Of course, since we are going to such lengths to freeze, I won't ovulate until after he gets back.
