The baseline went well yesterday. No cysts on either ovary and my stripe was thin. The nurse did find four follicles less than 10mm on my right ovary and multiple less than 10mm on my left ovary, but she said that was normal. I'm hoping that it's a good sign of things to come in the next few weeks. I'll be a little scared if I only get four eggs on each side. It's sad to think that just a few months ago I would have been estatic to have four follicles total. These days the numbers game takes a greater significance: more equals better. I'm hoping for at least 12 follicles total. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up either way, but 12 seems like a nice number right now.
So, now that they have confirmed that everything is quiet on the reproductive front, I've been given the go-ahead to start the next round of injections. I start my second daily injection on Saturday and it will be 225 units of Follistim taken between 7:00pm and 9:00pm every night. On that same day they want me to reduce the amount of Lupron to 5 units taken between 7:00am and 9:00am. So, basically for the next two weeks I have to take some sort of shot every 12 hours. My next ultrasound is scheduled for Halloween morning. And then the real worrying begins.
The flood damage is still being calculated. The adjuster got the estimate from the contractor yesterday and he thought it was too low, so he's making the contractor submit another estimate. We're still looking at about $40,000 worth of construction and $10,000 worth of clean-up. Luckily, everyone wants to move fast on this one, so it's not nearly the hassle it normally would be. I'm sure it'll start to be a bother once we need to pick out cabinets, carpets, flooring and the other little details.
E has been in a rare mood the past few days. He's chatting up such a storm that it's almost dizzying sometimes. Yesterday, during our ride home, he says to me "Momma, did you know that NBC News is the world's news leader?" I am not kidding you. I really need to stop that kid from watching the news.

OMG, E is a total riot! That is so funny! He is just a little sponge -- absorbing everything around him! NBC News needs to hire him. He could be the "voice" instead of James Earl Jones.
Good news all around it seems for your "systems" analysis. I hate that you have to do the shots, but hey, this WILL be the last time you'll have to do this. I'm banking on that, chick!
And sorry about the flood damage. I hate that for you! Glad that insurance is working on it. My friend had a similar experience last month, and insurance folks were huge helps -- in terms of money and getting the contractors moving.
(And yes, I'm back home, so I finally caught up with the posts I missed during my trip. Not the best trip in the world, so I'm so glad to be home!)
I'm glad you're home too! I was worried about you for a while there. I'll e-mail you this weekend to check in...
