Day 4: Teenagers!

It's day four of our stay here, and we were back at the clinic this AM at 1000 for our checkup. Margaret, our ultrasound tech, was her enthusiastic self again and commented that things are looking very very good. We've got a baker's dozen for the follicle count, with the leader of the pack measuring in at 17 millimeters; the others range from 10-15mm. We are continuing on the lowered dosage of meds and it appears to be working very well. E2 level today was 946 and we are projected to trigger on Saturday, 19 Jul. That would be a day earlier in the cycle than we triggered at Walter Reed...and actually the day we feel that we should have triggered when we cycled with them. So overall words today were once again great, and they are truly keeping a close eye on our progress which is such a good and reassuring feeling.

Today's "tourist" travels took us to the White House....went and took in the views from both the North and South lawns....was a short but great trip. Riding the metro is always a fun adventure, and we took in some lunch at Uno's Pizzaria in Union Station.

Overall, another great day on our journey with Shady Grove and another great day overall here in DC. Staying downtown in Silver Spring continues to be a fun experience, with so much within walking distance. Day four finished up with some good relaxin'; we'll be back at the clinic tomorrow morning.
