CD7 - Day 5 of Stims - Scan

Had a scan (it hurt this time!) this morning and it looks good - was able to see over a dozen follicles on the left, and about half a dozen on the right - and that number can still increase. There was a large-ish follicle on the right (no doubt the one that was there before they started me on stims)- about 15 mm while the rest were 10-11 mm (target: 19-20 mm). So that needs to be monitored a bit, and it's also, no doubt, the reason why my right ovary is an underperformer compared to the left.

Doc wasn't worried about the low E2 since he had me on suppression which does cause a slow start - what mattered most is the scan ("we want to see lots of littles") which was good. He says retrieval will be "at the earliest Tuesday, latest Friday." That window gets smaller the closer we get to it, naturally. Will find out this morning's bloodwork E2 levels and ongoing med instructions later today.
