Day 15 - trigger at last

Tonight I'll be doing my trigger injection for this cycle, then egg pick-up on Wednesday. Only one injection to go - hurray! It may be my last ever as well but never say never...

Today my follicles were looking good. There are 10 worth measuring:

Right: 21mm, 20mm, 16mm
Left: 22mm x2, 18mm, 17mm, 16mm, 15mm x2

So with any luck we will get 10 mature eggs, which would be a fantastic result. My oestrogen had risen a little from Saturday to 13030, but nothing like my first cycle where it went to over 16000. P4 was 6.9 and LH 1.8.

The lady doing the ultrasound today was training another person so she was explaining everything as she went along. When she got to the endometrial lining, she realised straight away it looked funny so I had to explain to her what had happened. She explained that the echogenic area around the small black hole that is where the placenta was, is apparently a granulomatous mass. That's just a fancy way of saying there's some tissue growth where the surgery was done. Its apparently harmless and hopefully will disappear with future cycles, or at least not interfere with implantation.

The endometrial lining wasn't looking good though. She measured it at only 1mm in the main part, away from the granuloma. She reckoned it was thin because I'd had a 'scrape' as she put it but I'm not so sure. Anyway, hopefully it will right itself before we start our frozen cycles.

All in all, its been a pretty good cycle, all things considered. Let's hope for a good haul of eggs on Wednesday.
