Ultrasound and Blood Work

Wednesday April 18, 2012 we arrived at Dr Shapiros office for blood work and an ultrasound to see how well the Menapur and Gonal-F medication has been affecting the production of eggs in the ovaries. The ultrasound revealed 5 eggs produce in the right and 10 in the left. All were developing at normal pace. The doctor would like to keep medication doses the same and see us back on Friday April 20 for another ultrasound and blood work.

Friday April 20, 2012 we returned to Dr Shapiros office for another ultrasound and blood work. To our surprise our ultrasound showed many more mature eggs than just two days prior! We had 25 total eggs that had developed. We were so excited. We did receive some changes from the original schedule, although we have produce many more eggs than the previous visit, the eggs still aren't to the size that the doctor would like in order to retrieve them. They would like us to return on Sunday April 22 for another ultrasound to allow mesurement of the eggs. They do believe the follicles will be ready for retrieval by Tuesday. So we are continuing injections for another couple of days but were getting so close!
