SO a little update over the last week:
I took clomid with NO symptoms! Hallelujah!! I was so scared! I also completed the shots without a symptom. I did a lot of praying and the Lord sure sis come through for me!
Today is Monday, November 6th. It has officially been one week since my last ultrasound and I was so excited but nervous to go in and see if my follicles had grown. I wasn't feeling any cramping throughout the week and in past cycles I had. I was so excited because I was scheduled to see my favorite Dr., Dr. Middleton, but when I went in she ended up having to switch and was on a different rotation. I was so let down because I 100000% respect her opinions and advice, she is also the other head of fertility doctor. I seen a intern and she measured my follicles. She said I had one 18mm, 15mm, and two 12mm follies. A 18mm is a great size but the rest were a little small. I was happy to have had at least one mature follicle but I have had some in the past that had 3 and 4 mature follicles and I didn't get pregnant. My lining was also thiner than what they like to see. That made me MORE than nervous. It was 6mm and a good lining is 8mm. That puts you at risk for miscarriage more...
The intern told me to go home, do my trigger shot at 1pm and that I would have my IUI the next day at the Institute down town. I felt that it was too early and my lining wasn't ready but she insisted.
I made my appointment for the Fertility Institute of Hawaii for the next day as I was told. I did run into Dr. Middleton in the hallway and we talked for a while. After being really scared about my lining, I ended up emailing her to express my concerns. She ended up putting me on progesterone gel as well as estrogen to help with lining and implantation issues. I am praying that works!
To be continued...
