And here we go.

Good:
  1. My blood pressure is (after vigorous application of medication) back in a range that will allow me to pursue fertility treatment.
  2. At today's CD3 appointment, my antral follicle count was 20, which is pretty great for an old lady like me.

Ungood:
Although my FSH was a fine 7.4, my E2 (estrogen) was an elevated 104.  WTH? Last October, four short months ago, I had perfectly wonderful stats of E2 43, FSH 5.9. What the heck? I mean, I did have a birthday in the meantime, but I was sort of hoping that my ovaries wouldn't notice me sliding into a different age bracket (most clinics have a category of "38 and up"). I guess they noticed.

I just can't help but feel like that last miscarriage kind of broke me.
