So far this cycle of treatments is going well- minus the swelling, hot flashes and mood swings. I guess this is pretty regular for me and thank goodness John is use to it as well. Poor guy lol. I had a doctors appointment Thurday and it went well. As of then i actually had about three eggs growing on each side, All only between 9-11mm but they were growing. Remember they need to be around 18mm to be able to take the HCG shot(the one to make me ovulate). I have not had this many on each side before at this point. So I go in today in a few hours to find out if we are close enough or if more medicine is needed and also how many are continuing to grow. Usually at this appointment I will see that there is one-maybe two that are most dominate and have grown more than any of the others. John and I are really hoping that we have at least two on each side going into ovuation. Yes, it raises chances for multipules but also the chances of pregnancy, we say it is well worth it. The doctor on Thursday said that we really only need one and yes thats true but one hasn't been our lucky number the last two times. So we will see in a few hours what the docotor says. I don't see me being ready to take the ovulation shot today- the eggs were not quite big enough at the last appointment to make me think they are able to grow that fast. But with this anything is possible and we are keeping our fingers crossed!
On a simi other subject, I think I was happy or at least releaved to find out that PCOS has its own color and ribbon (like breast cancer being a pink ribbon). It is very scary to know that I have a major condition that has a ribbon but it is great to know that there is awerness out there and that hopfully there will be more help and answers out there one day. Here is a picture of the ribbon- I love that it is teal (one of my favorite colors) and not a depressing color. Also there are shirts many other aprearals that show PCOS awerness. I love it! Just have to figure out how to get it....
