Day 8: first ultrasound

At a quarter to nine this morning Jonny and I were staring at the screen at the IVF ward of the hospital, curious to know how many follicles I had produced. There are two smaller ones in my right ovary and two big ones in my left ovary. A bit less than we hoped for, but there is a chance that the smaller ones might still join in le projet néné.

And if not, even two follicles would be enough to do the procedure with. In the end it is the quality of the follicles that matters, not the quantity!

The ones in my left ovary are the right size for pick-up already and the surpression drug Decapeptyl prevents them from ovulating, so they can be stimulated a bit more to give the other ones a chance to catch up. Tomorrow morning we are going back to the hospital to see if the small follicles have caught up. Go follies, go follies!
