Good news: I had 4 follicles on my right ovary and 2 on my left today. I am starting Bravelle this evening.
Bad news: with so few follicles, I am very unlikely to respond well to the drugs that I am taking (and paying $50 per dose for).
More good news: at least we are only aiming for 1-2 mature follicles (unlike IVF, where you really want a lot). I seem to still be getting one every month.
More bad news: We won't be doing IVF ever (with my eggs), it looks like. If I am a bad candidate now, I can't imagine what I would be a year from now, once we were actually able to save up our money!

Abbie,
I have you in my thoughts and prayers friend. I know how you feel with the whole follicle issue cause mine never did get bigger than whatever they were suppose to be. I got really frustrated and stopped going to see my RE and that is when we got preggo with the 2nd month of Clomid. I know our bodies are different but I want you to know to stay in the Word and give God all the glory and praise for your good news and your bad news.
Again, I know how your heart feels.
Your Sister in Christ,
Melanie
