Half a dozen possibilities

In the past, my first stim scan has almost always left me feeling either upset or confused so this morning I went in for my scan fully prepared to be disappointed. Instead it was actually pretty good! 6 follies all on the right and all 12-13mm with maybe another one or two smaller ones which may or may not do anyway. This is the first time I've had 6 all the same size so I'm pretty happy with that and so was my FS. Of course a small part of me was disappointed that my left ovary was pretty much empty but I am very grateful to still have one working ovary at this point. Dr P thinks my low AMH is due to my left ovary having run out of eggs or being too damaged by the endo to function now. I think it's ironic that my right ovary works but my right tube is stuffed and my left ovary is stuffed but my left tube still works! Anyway ... I go back for my second scan on Wednesday and hopefully we should be able to tell after that when the pick up will be :)

Despite the good news with the scan, I have to say this cycle is starting to take it's toll on me. I don't feel too bloated just yet, but the puregon is kicking my arse in every other way. I'm vague, cranky and barely functional at work but the worst part is the fatigue. I am rediculously tired and flat as a tac. I feel like I need toothpicks to keep my eyes open. I've had a few near misses on the road from lack of concentration, and driving into the city at 6am this morning I was actually contemplating pulling over on the freeway for a nap! My tummy is also black and blue which has never happened in previous cycles. The shots just seem a lot more painful for some reason. Anyway ... the joy of IVF! I feel like a train wreck. Another week and I get to squirt progesterone up my twat again! Yay!
