So Basically, I Don't Know What I'm Talking About

I was so upset on Saturday to hear I only had 3-4 follicles on the left and 6-8 on the right. "I'm only going to be able to get 12 eggs, maximum!" I wailed to DH, who kept saying, "The doctor said everything is going well. He doesn't seem worried. He didn't even change the dose on your medication." "But I'll only be able to get 12 eggs!" I repeated, hearbroken for all my undeveloped follicles, my lost eggs, my ungrown embryos.

It turns out that isn't true. It turns out on Monday, there were 5-6 on the left and 8-10 on the right. And today, there are 5 on the left and 10-12 on the right. So all this means what, exactly? That I am getting worked up over nothing, that I have no idea how many follicles I produce or when I produce them. I thought the 8 or so they saw on each side at the baseline appointment was IT, nothing more. Who knows? I'm not complaining.

But I'm nervous: my egg retrieval is Thursday. That is really soon.
