Hilari accompanied me to the clinic this morning to film. During the ultrasound, the doctor noticed one of my follicles was larger than those surrounding it. Ideally at this point, follicles should be around or below the size of 10. This particular follicle is a size 14 meaning one of two things. One, the follicle is growing faster than the others while allowing them access to the hormones. Two, it's growing larger because it's absorbing all the hormones and denying it to the other follicles. The best scenario is the first one, but I'll have to wait and see my blood work to get a full picture.

Day Two of Shots
Second day of giving myself hormone shots. The Gonal-F was simple to administer. I removed the dosage and injected it as instructed one-inch from my belly button with the small syringe.
I’m still at the dose of 225.

A Little Behind Schedule
I parked, jumped out of the car and reached in my purse as I walked toward the meter. My hand frantically grasped random objects inside my purse. My wallet....please tell me I have my wallet. I stuck my head inside my giant yellow handbag as a last ditch effort. Ugh! No wallet. My options are to drive home and be even later for my appointment or smile sweetly and politely ask a stranger for change. I decided on the latter.
