Not a good checkup

This morning I had another checkup with HRC.  

A blood test to check my estrogen levels, {they want to see over 100 by day five and like to see over 200} and an ultra sounds to check out all my little follicles and the lining of my uterus.  I'm still spotting a little from my cycle and this is bad news bears.  Because of this my uterine lining hasn't thickened up at all.  Not. Good.  Also, my estrogen levels came back at 80.78... very low. :( So the doc told me to start taking Estradiol {estrogen pill} starting today and twice a day to kick start the process.  He found about 9 follicles on my right ovary and this is a good thing.  He told me that the right ovary produces more that the left so it's good a good thing the one I have is the right one! :)

 I was also told to increase my dose of Bravelle from 3 vials each night to 4.  And speaking of Bravelle, last night I finally figured out that it hurts a fraction of what it did before if I give myself that shot in the abdomen.  Thank the Lord!  Because I didn't think there was any way I was going to survive with that shot for another day.
Finally, I was instructed to talk to my ovary.  Apparently it's supposed to help. {weird, but I'll do whatever it takes! haha}  I told the doctor I would talk to my uterus too since it hasn't done what we want yet.

My next appt. is set for Monday.  Hopefully my body kicks it into overdrive this weekend and I have a great next appt.  The estrogen pills are supposed to make me feel happier {yay!} and I was told to avoid any and all stress, so I've got a nice relaxing weekend in front of me.

I'm thinking a bubble bath and martinellis :)
