CD13 Ultrasound and Bloodwork

judecorpI went back in this morning for another ultrasound and E2 check. I had one follicle on each ovary that were both about 13mm (I think one was 13.5). I'm guessing my E2 was also up from Monday's dismal 62, though she didn't give me the number. I need to come in for /another/ ultrasound and E2 check on Saturday morning. I have such mixed feelings about this.
On one hand, I'm glad that I actually have a couple of measurable follicles and that they're expecting that at least one will mature eventually - so I'm not out this cycle, at least not yet, which is good. I'm not sure if they're going to try to up my Clomid next cycle since this one didn't go as well as we would like - I guess I'll find out sooner or later.
On the other hand, I /really/ was hoping we could insperminate this weekend, ideally Sunday, and now there is no way this is going to happen. Even if we get the go-ahead to trigger on Saturday night (which would be a stretch since they say follicles grow 1-2mm/day so they /might/ be 17mm which is kind of small), that still means we'd do our IUI on Monday morning. Possibly Tuesday, depending on trigger. Which means missing work. Which is a problem because I was planning on stacking my week Mon-Thurs so I could take Friday off without using time off.
So now my crappy response to this month's Clomid means screwing up not one, but TWO weekends. This weekend because we were going to spend Friday night into Saturday at Northampton Pride, and next weekend if I end up having to work on Friday and cutting short our anniversary weekend together. Jen had the unfortunate experience of calling me literally 2 minutes after I got the call from the nurse about needing to go in again on Saturday and therefore got the brunt of my funk (and not Coworker Funk). Le sigh.
I really hope the third time is the charm and I have something better going on up in Hoo-Hah-Ville on Saturday. I wonder if the delay is from the stress of last week with the houseguest and the work drama and the long days and all of that, or if 100mg Clomid just isn't doing it for me. I guess we'll find out.

I'm wondering if they're going to up my Clomid next cycle if we have to try again, since things were crawling along this time. I'm just thankful that u/s's are covered by my insurance because otherwise there is no way I could have had 3.
