And now for the update: the cyst is still there (same exact size as it was a week ago) but my E2 level continues to drop (down to 63). One more day of Ganirelix, and then I think she's letting me start the cycle. Although it's not entirely clear to me if that means start as IVF and see what happens or just assume it's a Follistim IUI. But yeah, 18 antral follicles (my highest in a year has been 12) and things are still popping like crazy in there (have I mentioned I've been on Ganirelix for a week already?). I guess that means the DHEA is doing something right because I have no other explanation. This is good, right? This is really good, right?

Have I said that IVF turns me into a raving lunatic? Poor A.

  1. Holy shit. 18??? wow. Good that the E2 levels are dropping; at least this cysts has stopped doing too much and is now more just taking up space. Still annoying, but less critical.

    18? Wow -- that is awesome!

  3. I think the ultrasound tech might be on crack. My favorite should be back tomorrow....I'll see how she does the numbers. But, yeah, 18! A little different from the 5 I had in June!
