Dear Hope: Almost there...

Almost there...

Dear Hope,

Today’s appointment went well but not too much to update on. When my dr looked at my ultrasound she said I was “border-line”… Meaning that some of my follicles were reaching maturity but wanted to see what my blood work came back at. My estrogen level (E2) was at 976 and my Progesterone level (P4) was at 0.514. She said she wanted my E2 level to be above 1000, so one more night of the injections!!! I am scheduled for ANOTHER morning monitoring (ultrasound & blood work) tomorrow and more than likely I will get the go ahead that my Egg Retrieval will be this Friday! Keeping my fingers crossed that everything continues to go smooth!

Kate
