CD 15: Ovarian Hyperstimulation are you Serious?!?!

So we had our CD15 u/s re-check on the follicles (that were not mature enough on Saturday), and apparently all of my singing to them, the meditations well wishes were too much for my ovaries because I am now on the verge of hyperstimulation.  Here's the breakdown.... A normal woman produces 1 follicle a month, in those rare occasions she releases 2 (resulting in fraternal twins), in a Clomid Ovulation Induced Cycle the average is 2-3 follicles, and with Injectables it is kind of open game. Well none of this was never mentioned as a possible issue at our appointment on Saturday and so the more I think about the more angry I am getting because it would have been better to know that was an option versus being blindsided today.
Here our our numbers from Saturday (the # on the end is the total mm of each follicle): 
L116.269.2712.76mm 
L213.3711.0912.23mm 
L312.6110.7711.69mm

R111.6510.1110.88mm 
R211.7912.9212.36mm 







And here are our numbers from today:

L120.0115.8317.92mm 
L211.4011.2311.32mm 
L317.4915.1316.31mm 
L419.0711.1015.08mm 
L516.5914.5015.54mm


R117.2814.0115.64mm 
R218.3113.9016.1mm 


And if you are wondering, no your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, there is another magical follicle that has appeared, which has brought our follicle count to 6 and has scared the living crap out of our RE. So the trigger completely went out of the window, and she gave us 2 options 1) Cancel the cycle (or bag the cycle as she said) 2) Come back in on Thursday to check and see if 1 or 2 follicles decide to ovulate on their own. If they continue to grow we have to cancel the cycle or end up with a John & Kate Plus 8 Lesbian Version  We are okay with twins, but we are not okay with 6 kids at one time. 

I am so mad at my body, I feel like it is hellbent against me, and I know that is just my pity party talking, but after the miscarriages and the death of my daughter I feel like a I deserve an effing break! We decided that we are going to go with Option 2 and see what my body does (hopefully it selectively reduces some of those smaller follicles). So now we play the waiting game and hope that my greedy polycystic ovaries O on their own with just 1 or 2 follicles.  That means that I am back to peeing on a stick seriously because we have to rely on the OPKs to tell when we are ovulating with no trigger, if of course all the present follicles don't get their shit together and allow 1 or 2 to shine SHEESH!
