CD 13 Follie Check

I just got back from my follie check. It looks like the Clomid is doing it’s job, because I have two follicles. However, one is not yet mature enough to trigger, nor is my lining thick enough. I have a 17mm follie on my left ovary and a 14mm one on my right ovary, and my lining is 5.2mm. So, our plan is to go back for another ultrasound on Wednesday and hope that my 17mm follie doesn’t ovulate on it’s own. If it does not, we will trigger on Wednesday and do the IUI on Thursday.

So I guess I need :::no ovulation until Thursday dust:::

As far as the Clomid went, I think I am pretty lucky because I experienced minimal side effects. I had night sweats almost every night and was tired and a little nauseated in the afternoons, but that was about it. No Clomid crazies (at least, nothing beyond my normal bitchiness ;).

My RE was so sweet and kept apologizing for us not being PG yet. I told him I understood the odds and that it may take a while. He said "I wish there was some way we could tell if the sperm is even making it to the egg. But, there isn't. We don't know if you might have some sort of tubal issue." Bah, that is something I really hope we don't have to worry about, so I'm going to put it out of my mind for now.

Anyway, I will be obsessively peeing on OPKs until the ultrasound on Wednesday!

Im glad you didnt have any horrible s/e with the Clomid.

Lets hope your ovaries do their thing and are ready by Wednesday for your trigger!

::dumps tons of no ovulation until Thursday dust:: I'm glad the clomid isn't too bad!

Shannon said...

Im glad your S/E are not that bad with the Clomid. This cycle has been the worse so far
(well not so much for me but for DH!)
Do you have to ask how thick your lining is?? I wasnt told last cycle...

Wow I never knew that with the clomid and having 2 follicles that the are on different sides. Pretty intresting to learn. If this one doesnt take then Im going to ask about colmid too!

Hey Shannon. I didn't ask, he just measured it on the u/s and told me. But my RE likes to talk and share all the info with me, which is what I like about him :) I had another guy last cycle and I had to ask.

I hope everything stays put until your trigger!

Good Luck!!! If clomid don't do the trick, ask about femera. It worked better for me, but had to cancel that cycle due to pneumonia. I am trying this month too. I really had a good response last time I took femera, I had + opk's for three days straight....lol.
