It's day #5 of our trip and it started with a trip to Starbux and then a trip over to the clinic. We have successfully obtained later and later appointments...started with 0930 and by today are up to 1o15. At this rate, if we don't have our trigger on the earlier side of the timeline we might need to bring dinner to our checkup appointments!! :-) But can you blame us for wanting the extra sleep if we can get it? At any rate, it was another very good checkup. The staff is extremely happy with the way that Gena is progressing. We still have a baker's dozen (or more) of follicles, with two that are are above 18mm and one that is just below it; the other's fall in line all the way from 14-16mm. One marker they use is driving age, as they want at least three follicles to be 18mm or greater before they will look to trigger. So it's not enough for the follicles to have their permit...they've gotta have the license to "drive". So we'll go back for another checkup tomorrow morning to get another assessment....which we figure will be the one that will have us trigger either late Sat night or early Sunday morning for a Monday retrieval. E2 level is progressing nicely and was 1306...which was right at 200 points less than on the same cycle day at Walter Reed. That being one of our concerns, it's nice to see where it is at for this cycle.
Overall, another great day. Spent a few hours after the appointment over at the mall in Tyson's Corner...enjoyed some TGI Friday's while seeing what Pottery Barn Kids and Restoration Hardware had to offer....lots of fun things to deck out a nursery with....so we sure do hope we can spend some money with them in the not too distant months! :-) Silver Spring continues to be a great place to stay as were getting to enjoy the perks of downtown living....which, yes, is a far cry from they way things are back in the stickland they call Warner Robins, GA.
We'll see what tomorrow brings.
