I'm freaking out just a tad tonight...about my Gonal-F pen. Tonight was the second injection and according to the math, I should only get about 2 doses out of it plus a bit more...and it looks like so much is left in it yet. So I'm freaking that I didn't get the dose I was supposed to. Just doesn't seem like enough is being injected. I know the pen system is supposed to be super easy and carefree and is auto-dose, but honestly I think I'd feel much more secure if I had a bottle of the FSH and a syringe I needed to load up with the proper dose. It also just seems like so little compared to what I've read about others' dosages, but I should trust that it's right for me. My nurse did say they didn't want to overdo it and send my ovaries into OHSS, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome...which is bad, mkay? Basically, your ovaries go into overdrive and swell up monsterously huge...so huge, women who are stick skinny to start with look 4 months pregnant within a day or two. Yeah, I do not need that to happen to me. I think I just need a teensy bit to get those follies growing. Okay, I'm gonna get over it now. I go in tomorrow morning for my ultrasound and bloodwork (to check e2/estradiol levels),which should be okay considering it's one of the meds I'm taking this go-round. So once that appointment is over, I'll know more about timing. Pre-ultrasound, our plan is to have a second ultrasound and bloodwork on Monday the 11th, but may push it up or back depending on what they find in there tomorrow. Keeping my fingers and toes and eyes crossed!
