Oh what a day to have my U/S! Everyone at the doctor's office had dressed up and I had "Christian Grey" do my U/S this morning. "Oh My!" LOL! My regular doctor wasn't in yet since it was so early. It was good luck:
For all you lucky dogs who don't know what this means let me explain. L1-L5 is my left ovary and the follicles are what are growing that hold the eggs. The 1 and 2 across the top are the dimensions of the follicle and the mean is the size. So you would read this that I have 3 follicles on my left ovary and 2 on the right. Yes indeed, FIVE FOLLICLES! The size when they are good to go for ovulation is around 18+ so "Christian" told me I should have 3-4 ready to go by time I trigger on Friday night. Then I have my IUI on Sunday morning. Since it is taking place in November I will lovingly refer to the IUI moving forward as "getting basted" in honor of Thanksgiving. :) The most follicles ready to go in the past has been 3. I have been extremely crampy the past week or so and knew something had to be going on in there. This is great news!
I have also made the decision that this will be my last "basting" either way. Hopefully I will be pregnant and not have to worry about it or we will move on to more aggressive treatment in 2013. Please keep me in your prayers and hope lucky #3 is it!
