I spent most of yesterday snoozing and in pain because I think I am down either with food poisoning/ stomach flu/ gastric flu... The earlier part of the day was spent either vomitting or having diarrhea, and the later part of the day a fever kept me in bed. The fever made me so dizzy and real achy all over that I was too weak get out of bed. It's a good thing I had Mark taking care of me and giving me medicine. I was feeling so bad yesterday that I thought I wouldn't be able to make it to see the fertility doctor this morning.

Most of the symptoms seem to have faded away by the morning and I was able to go for my appointment with Dr Anu. Don't know what is happening, but the follicles seem to be growing real slow this time. Usually it'd take about one-and-a-half vials of FSH (follicle stimulating hormones) injections for the eggs to reach maturity, but this time round, I am almost done with the second vial but the biggest egg that's showing the most promise is only 11.5mm, which is the halfway point. Each vial of medication costs $$270 and for this cycle, I am spending much more than expected due to the addition medication required.
