IVF The Do-Over, Please Hold

Yesterday was CD1 as expected.

Yesterday I was home sick from work with a cold.

Yesterday we had a plumber in first thing to make some updates in our basement before we start our post-flood renovations. No water in the house for several hours.

I called to report to the RE right after breakfast, and they wanted me to be there for a 2pm baseline. Exactly what I wanted to do in my unshowered, snot-filled haze. I was also a little concerned that they might cancel the cycle due to excessive snot, but apparently, as long your excessive snot isn't overheated with a fever, you're OK.

The RE Himself did the scan and the ovaries look quiet. Just a few tiny follicles on the left gearing up... or perhaps I should hope they were actually settling down.

Today I am still home sick from work.

Today I missed the call with my blood results.

Turns out my progesterone is elevated. I gather from the rambling message the nurse left that this is a problem. So now I get to worry all day today that this cycle will be cancelled before it even starts and then I go in early tomorrow (Saturday, day of rest and my dreaded birthday) to have the progesterone rechecked before I can (please, please, please) start stimming Saturday night.

Thus, I am hoping those little follicles were corpus luteum (luteii?) that were just settling back down (since the scan was on CD1). If I just think that hard enough, it should do the trick, right?

  1. That's super frustrating! I hope that everything checks out ok tomorrow so you can start stimming!
