Rob and I always place bets on how many eggs and where. Rob gets to pick first because he and Dr. Steingold think I have insider information. They're wrong. I always think I'm achy on the right. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going to brush appendicitis off as ovulation.
So Rob picked one egg on the left. I picked one egg on the right.
And I was right!
Today is day 16. No smiley faces yet, but the sneak peek ultrasound today says that I have one big 21 mm follicle and one smaller 18 mm follicle on the right. The 18 mm one doesn't really count, since it probably won't make it into the big leagues. But the EVEN BETTER news is I have big, fat, cushy lining with 3 fat stripes: 7.1 mm! Do I really know the significance of 3 stripes? No. But whatever makes Dr. S happy makes me happy. Dr. S wants me to grow another 0.5 mm of lining, but he was pretty pleased and thinks I can squeeze out another 0.5mm. I said I'd concentrate really hard to do so.
If this doesn't work, we're going to do another round of Femara 5mg next month. Rob promised that next time he'll lock me up like a wolfman, give me lots of hugs and chocolate, and avoid conversing with me. And then shots. Just in time for cooler weather and no bikinis. I think. Period math is complicated.
I have an ultrasound picture of my follicle to show you when I get home from work. Some people get ultrasound pictures of babies... me? I'm excited to have an ultrasound picture of an egg. ;)

Yay!!! That is awesome! I'm glad you posted this about your lining b/c it reminded me to tell you what I was supposed to remember to tell you yesterday..... My friend Susan, the one who went through the 4 years of infertility and then had twins (I think I told you about her), she said that Clomid thinned out her uterine lining. Didn't that happen to you? I thought it did so I thought that was worth passing along. Apparently that's an issue? Yay for nice cushy lining this month!!! Woohoo uterus, good job!
ReplyDeleteOh, happy follicle day!!! I remember reading something along the lines of what Karla is saying - maybe in Taking Charge of Your Fertility?
ReplyDeleteYup. It's true. Clomid makes you ovulate, but thins out the endometrium, especially with the higher doses of Clomid. That is why you try Femara before moving on to shots. :)
