My visit to The Special Man's office went pretty well, although things have not advanced quite to his satisfaction. They took my blood, then went I went in for the transvaginal ultrasound, which is really the most important step right now because these ultrasounds are monitoring how my follicles (the structures that contain the eggs) are developing; it turns out that I have four or five follicles on each ovary, but none of them are close enough to being mature to advance, so I'm going to be taking an increased dosage of Follistim (200 IU instead of 150 IU) today and tomorrow, and then I'll go back for more blood work and another ultrasound on Friday.
Hopefully I'll be feeling better by my appointment Friday afternoon. Like my dad and so many others right now, I'm sick with a cold or flu. I was feeling pretty good this morning, but as the day wore on I began to feel worse and worse. Now my sore throat is back, my congestion hasn't let up, and I'm having muscle aches and chills. The neti pot my mom bought helped relieve my congestion a lot and I didn't really expect it to work at all, but that thing is wonderful! I'm going to use it again in a little while, because it does a better job than any of the decongestants I've been taking. If nothing else, I think I do feel better than my dad, who has been staggering around the house in his tighty whities in a NyQuil stupor when he's dragged himself out of his bed for whatever reason; he's got a lot of congestion in his chest and is obviously feeling downright dreadful.
Surprisingly, it's supposed to freeze tonight! We brought all the cats in, even Sterling -- and he is not pleased with us at all.
