First follow up after starting follicle stimulation injections

I had my first follow up ultrasound and bloodwork. The ultrasound revealed 7 follicles on my left ovary and my right ovary wasn't visible because I had a full bladder (whoops). She said a normal amount would be 5-7 follicles. She said that they start measuring the size of the follicles when they are greater than 10mm and the largest one today was 9.1mm. The bloodwork is testing my estrogen level and I will find out later on today the result. I will most likely have to adjust my dose of Gonal F.

I spoke to the nurse about what restrictions I should be having. She basically told me to act like I was pregnant. To limit caffeine to 1 to 2 cups per day, only take tylenol for pain but otherwise try to eat and act naturally.

My estrogen level was 208 today. I return Thursday for another ultrasound and estrogen level. Until then, I'll continue on the same dose of Gonal F.
