I have had a week of scans, blood tests and drug taking! After my scan on Tuesday I was called back in the following day. It turned out my oestrogen level was twice what it should be and the clinic were concerned. Also I had 2 large follicles already.
So Wednesday I had the pleasure of 2 sonographers to look at my ovaries. They remeasured the follicles and found they weren't quite as large as first thought as it turns out I had a couple of follicles hiding in the large one. But they were still quite big for how far into the treatment I was. I had more blood taken and my oestrogen levels were still high so I was told to reduce my level of the injected drug I take and to go back Friday.
I had another scan today and my follicles are still growing well - I have 17 one side and 13 the other and am scheduled to have my eggs collected on Monday. HOWEVER, my oestrogen level is still very high so I have to start on some different drugs tomorrow to try and keep my levels under control. I have been warned that I may have to have our embryos frozen this time if my levels don't normalise as if my oestrogen levels continue to rise I'm at risk of getting very poorly. Obviously I'll be disappointed if we can't do the transfer this month, but my health is the priority.
