CD10 Appointment

[judecorp]

I went in this morning for my E2 check and ultrasound. It wasn't nearly as positive as I would like it to be. I had several follicles on each ovary but there was no dominant follicle and none of them were measurable (all under 12mm). My E2 level was 62.

I have to go back on Thursday for another u/s and another E2 check. I know that it's still early and things might still be happening, but I can't help but feel a little nervous that maybe this cycle is not going to happen for us. I know in my head that there's still time, especially since last month, due to New Orleans, I didn't even go in for an ultrasound or bloodwork until CD14. And even at CD14 I had one follicle at 19mm and one at 13mm. Maybe I'm just a slow grower?

This whole process is such a mindfuck. Sigh.

Don't get too upset. When I started on my journey with clomid this time I was ovulating what is considered early for me - on day 16 and then as I kept taking the clomid it kept getting later until I was on day 19. So don't get too discouraged! You could just be ovulating later! I know how horrible it is going in and not seeing a dominate follicle though - that happened to me almost every time because they would always look too late. I'm glad they are checking again on Thursday. I've heard of other PCOS women who ovulate on like day 21 and have gotten pregnant!

This last time they checked me early and gave me that "I'm not sure" concerned look but I did ovulate late & got pregnant so keep your hopes up!

I'm hoping I just ovulate later and that is okay with me. I had so much stress last week, too, which could be contributing to things... so I'm trying not to worry about it.

I am just so concerned because timing is everything for us. It's not like we can just have sex every day or two and "cover our bases." If my doctor doesn't think I will ovulate, he won't do the IUI and then I'm out for a month. So frustrating! I wish we could just make a baby on our own.

When I was just taking Metformin, I was ovulating really late, the earliest was CD21. Last cycle I triggered on CD14 and I started Clomid a day later than I did this time. So frustrating!

Here's hoping for better news on Thursday!

Mindfuck is the best word I've ever heard to describe this process. I'll be hopeful right along with you. I have my sonogram tomorrow and I'm not sure what to expect; I haven't experienced any discomfort or anything; wasn't I supposed to if my ovaries were being stimulated? Or is that later? Anyway, good luck to us both!

By the way, I really like your formatting; it's really easy on the eyes! (Sorry to be such a dork!)

Thanks - I got complaints about the colors on my old layout so I decided to change it and yeah, this is definitely softer.

Last cycle when I took Clomid, I had some random O-pains around days 10-14. I have had a few here and there this time, too, but they said I don't even have a dominant follicle. So frustrating, I hope one shows up!

I can't wait to hear about tomorrow! FX!
