Had my CD 12 ultrasound today. I am still so new at this, and like I mentioned in my previous results, Google is not very helpful so I was hoping you more experienced ladies could help me out here.
- My lining was 13.1, and they said something else about it that I didn't catch, and when I asked, all they would repeat was that it was good and exactly where it should be for the first half of my cycle
- They counted the follicles so quickly, too quickly for me to follow properly, which was very annoying. Again, when I asked, all they would tell me is that I had one good follie on my bad ovary (the one with the endo) and one on the good ovary that might grow big enough by tomorrow. The only numbers I caught were 16x20, and about 9 or 10 that were all below 10.
The doctor said that there was a possibility that the good follie we saw was leftover from one of my cysts, or even a new one, since it is on my bad ovary. They ran a blood test for estradiol that will help them determine if it's a cyst or a follie. If it's a follie, I will trigger tomorrow night and do the IUI on Monday.
I thought Clomid was supposed to produce multiple big follies? I find it odd that I really only got 1.5 follies, and they seem to be about the same size as the regular ones I ovulate. Doc did say that they would want to up me to 100 mg next time, because they like to see 2-3 mature follies for IUI. I will say that I had very little side effects with clomid, and it did help me get to ovulation faster than I would on my own.
I think I only had one when I had my first round of Clomid. I think that means that you probably need to go up a dose. Sometimes figuring out the right dose (not too high, but high enough) is a process. I don't ever remember what any of my measurements were... So I'm not sure about yours....
ReplyDeleteIt is good that they are happy with your lining. I think that sometimes Clomid can thin it out a lot.
It will be interesting to see what your blood test turns up. I know that I DID get cysts with Clomid. I guess you won't know until you get your results back.
At my clinic they don't even do an u/s before IUI with clomid, they just really on using OPKs and when you get a positive you come in the next day for IUI. So I have never got to know follies, or lining or anything! So I am no help to you there. Here's to hoping it will all work out!
