This morning, I went in for my second set of baseline tests. The ultrasound clearly showed that the 18mm follicle had been ovulated, and the other two had shrunk slightly. Sharon said we would still need to wait on the blood test results to be sure the estrogen levels had gone down before we got the "all clear" to move forward.
Around 2:30pm, I got word from Sharon that my blood tests were good and they are ready for me to start birth control tonight! She said I should take 2 pills / day for 11 days, then come back in on May 10 for another set of baseline tests before starting the shots. This is a little different than round #1, since I'll be taking 2 pills / day instead of 1, but he thought a shorter and more intense suppression period would be ideal this time.
I'm glad this puts us back on track for the round #3 schedule, despite the little delay in the birth control phase this week. Feeling pretty good about it so far! Particularly because we could see several antral follicles on both ovaries, which will hopefully come into play once we start shots!
