I snarkily named this cycle 79740 for blog organization purposes; little did I know it would be approximately that many days to nurture this follicle to trigger size. 14.5 mm, my Dear Readers. That’s a .5 increase from Friday. The doctor originally did a quick swipe of my pancreas, errr ovaries, and he proclaimed it 11 mm. I sat up, looked him straight in the eye, and said, “It was 14 mm 2 days ago.”
He must deal with crazy, hormonal women for a living because he quickly measured the wider part of the follicle and said, “or, 14.5.”
Happier, but still not victorious, I walked home. I’ve stopped counting how many days of stims. 20? 21? 19? Too many. I’m ready, Follicle. Try for me. Just a few more mm’s. I’ve got an out-of-state good bye party next weekend and I need to get HoneyBee home for some lovin’ and for my sanity. Just 3 or 4 mm’s. Please? If you get a nice e2 rise, I’ll even settle for 2 mm. Your choice.

…sending your follie a ‘hurry the hell up and grow’ vibe right now.

I have the feeling if this follie does turn into a real live baybee, it’s gonna be stubborn and apt to move at it’s own pace.

Ugh. I’m also sending hurry up and grow vibes. Just a little bit bigger please. You can do it, Follicle!

Sending fatty grow vibes your way…

I’m picturing you sitting up and glaring at the good Doc and having him suitably put in his place before he sheepishly re-measures.
It is, quite possibly, the only thing that will make me smile today.

14.5! You’re on your way! And if he knows what’s good for him, HoneyBee is on his way too (with the gifts we discussed).
