Testing started today. I had another FSH blooddraw and a vaginal u/s. My doctor kind of made me laugh as he is talking about how it may be uncomfortable, and so on... Little does he know I have probably had more than my share of vaginal u/s. I think I had 6 of them when I was pg the first time round. I am a pro at these.
He checked both of my ovaries for follies and only found 4-5 on each. He said that in some one my age (I am 29) they would like to see about 7-10. Whatever.
I start Clomid on monday for the Clomid Challenge Test. Can I just say whatever doc came up with that name, must have an interesting sense of humor. A challenge tells my brain we are in a contest. I also feel like since it's obvious that I have no control over what my ovaries are doing (or not doing) I feel like I should definitely be betting on the other guy. LOL!
What is more funny to me is that I have read a few books on infertility, and all of them talk about how you live at your docs. So today I got handed my schedule for the next 2 weeks. I was not asked what time worked for me, LOL, if morning or afternoon was better, just like as if I worked there, "Here's your schedule for the next 12 days." I completely understand why they do this, I just think it's funny. So after getting home, I realize that I have a work conference scheduled in CA one of the days that I am supposed to appear for an US at 10:15am. I am currently trying to figure out how to get myself rescheduled for work. What joy!
I am happy that things are progressing at a very nice pace for me, and the doc said as long as tubes are open (hsg is scheduled for wednesday 25th) and I respond to Clomid, (US for that is 11/30)my first round of IUI could happen as early as 12/2. WOW 12/2! That's only 11 days from now! It seems like I have waited forever for the moment of conception and it's entirely possible it could be in less than 2 weeks. I know getting ahead of myself. Can't help hoping
