IVF Stimulation Day 5

I started Ganarelix this morning. It is a daily shot in my upper thigh. It is a drug that is used to prevent premature ovulation. Since the dr's are manipulating my body and its normal processes, they can't let me ovulate until a certain time. The shots are okay, it stung a little but wasn't that bad. As you can see the needle is small like the other one. I also had another Dr's appointment this morning. They took 2 vials of blood and did another ultrasound. The ultrasound tech said that I was the perfect study patient. She said all my tests and ultrasounds are perfect. Tasha gave me a print-out of my follicle growth (see below). The column heading that says "mean" is what they look at. There is a check mark above that column. Tasha said that when I have at least 4-5 that are at least 1.7 then they will do the egg retrieval. Starting Sunday the 25th, they will do daily ultrasounds to monitor the growth.
