What is that saying, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket?" Well, it looks like my ovaries aren't listening well! Ha! I now have 11 follies on my left and only 5 on my right. I honestly don't think it's a big deal and I feel that he wasn't able to see my right too well so he was just going by what he could see. I do, however, feel like I'm going to explode from my left side (or just topple over) b/c there is so much pressure and bloating! I don't mind though!! It means that they are actually doing something in there.

The doc said that all follies are measuring on average at 11-12mm and he wants me to come back on Monday for another ultrasound and e2 draw. I had my levels drawn today as well but won't know those results because he said that it doesn't matter. He wants me to continue on the same dose of Bravelle until Monday anyways... He said the only way he could call me is if my e2 levels were horrid and he had to cancel (or change up) the cycle. At this point, I'd rather not know my levels as it honestly just causes crazy stress on my part.

We're hoping that all follies are pretty mature by Monday and that I can trigger on Monday night. I'm not sure how possible that is - but I know it can happen. =) If I triggered Monday night, that would put ER (egg retrieval) on Wednesday! I'm really hoping it works like this because then my ET (egg transfer) would be possibly Sunday or Monday (hoping for a 4 or 5 day transfer).

It's such a gorgeous day today, I just wish I felt a little better. I have been feeling a "cold" coming on since yesterday morning but trying not to think about it. Well, I can't do anything BUT think about it now as I have a constant drip from my nose! I hate weather changes, they play havoc on my body! So now on this beautiful day where I want to be outside and walking the dog or something, I'm inside with 800 sneezes every minute, watery eyes, and a faucet running from my nose. At least it's just weather related and I don't have some nasty virus!! I can NOT get that kind of sick right now! I'm not having it!

One last thing - My grandparents went on vacation at the beginning of March (traveled the California coast and then took a cruise to Hawaii) and just got back on Thursday. My family is very close and my grandpa has done so much for everyone over the years and we always try to help him out when we can. This month while they were gone, we completely gutted and re-did his kitchen! All new floors, cabinets, walls, appliances, etc. They even put in a washer/dryer room so that they don't have to go to the basement to do laundry anymore. Well, they took a billion picture and even did some "funny" videos (mocking Extreme Home makeover) so that we could put something together for them. I'm the one that is getting stuck putting it all together. I have 4 different emails from family of 100's of pictures and then we have two long videos that I have to edit. I've known about this for 2 weeks now and they want it done by tomorrow. I haven't even started it. SHIT! Thank God we have our mac though - it has imovie and hopefully it goes smoothly. They want it all into one "video" with rotating pictures (to a background music) and videos all together. If anyone has any genius ideas, I'm open to suggestions! We're heading out to dinner in a little while - but that is what I'll be doing until probably the wee hours of the morning. I didn't help with any construction so I guess it's the least I can do, right?

No news is good news right -- about the e2 level. I am keeping my fingers crossed and remember it only takes one good egg !!!

Your cycle is doing just fine, can't wait for Monday's u/s!!

Good luck with the video, I've heard IMovie is better to use than the movie making program I have, let me know if you need any song suggestions or anything, I should be on tonight!

Wow, that's awesome that the family did that. You'll have to share pics / videos with us when complete!
