"You have an army in there!?!?!"

So, we started Goanl-F ($1300)-- to be given SQ every evening on July 21, 2008. The dosage was 150IU. Done. I can do that with ease. Day 4 follie check shows lots of growth, e2 still low, but continue with same dose until Monday. Well, Dr Gill was there for my follie check on Monday and he exclaimed "wow, you have an army in there!?!" What are we gonna do about this?! Possible IVF depending on e2. Or cycle will have to be cancelled. BOOHOOO! I was so devestated because we knew we could not afford IVF. Each cycle runs between 12-15 THOUSAND (!) dollars. Um, not gonna happen any time soon, much less this cycle. Anyway, we got the report that my e2 was actually too low (193) and another drug needed to be added. So I flew off to the Woodlands to get the other necessary drug to raise my estradiol levels (Menopur $700). Went back in this morning for bld work to make sure it is working...and it is e2 is 516 (!) up from 193 yesterday! Things look as if they might be falling in line with our previous cycle which resulted so beautifully in Carter and Olivia! Fingers crossed that things go so smoothly again! We are excited and SCARED!
