Had my 8th day stims scan this morning and I'm ahead of where they thought I'd be by a day. There are 15 follicles in there that they can see! Breakdown is :

9 on the Right : 4x13mm, 3x12mm, 2x11mm
6 on the Left : 1x14mm, 3x13mm, 2x12mm

So guessing that means Left 14mm is the lead follicle, but right ovary has worked a little harder. They've warned me that if Leeds Hosp (St James') collect 15+ they consider it hyperstimulation and will put me on IMshots into my bum. But also said that not every follicle may produce an egg / there may be more follicles they couldn't see underneath the ones they can.
They told me their protocol is for collection when at 20/21mm. My lining was at 8mm .

I'm to keep taking the buserilin+gonal-f till Sunday night, then I'll be triggering with 10,000iu of pregnyl at 9pm Sunday for an 8.30am Tuesday 1st Feb collection over in Leeds (means leaving here at 6.30am
 
). Pacing floor day is Weds until they call to say how many are at 2pn (fertilised), then hopefully back Thurs 3rd to take two on board.
 


The blood test is booked for valentines day
 
- I so hope that's a good omen!
