My appt sucked. I could tell by u/s and the lack of talking that they weren't too hopeful. At the end they say that it looks like something is there and about to release anytime now. It was huge. Bigger than the left ovary. But when I see it, I automatically think of a cyst. Real optimistic right? The right ovary has been showing a little response each month and it always turns out to be nothing. A cyst would continue to grow each round.... But anyway. I waited and found out progesterone level was 0.4. They said not to give up yet because they really feel that this is about to happen. Sorry but I just don't have hope. The only positive to all this is that I won't have a period for the trip. They want to recheck my P4 next week. I told her I'm on vacation and we are waiting to figure out what to do about that. I have to finish up the final blood work and everything for this study. I made my appt to see the PCOS clinic in Oct. At that point, I think it's going to be about controlling things more so than trying anything more.
So basically they said not to give up hope yet, "homework" for the rest of this week as much as possible just in case, and recheck of level next week. Here's my wonderful crater ovary. The thing is freaking huge.
Now, I'm going to bed and hopefully tomorrow I am done snotting and can breathe normal again. My head feels like it's going to blow up.
Hmmm... well, it might be for real. You're certainly far enough into your cycle. I'm obviously not a tech, but at least it looks like it has a nice round shape to it, that's a good sign. And if it is a dud, you're right that at least you won't have your period on vacay.
ReplyDeleteBut otherwise, whine away. I know it sucks... you're coming to an end with the study and most of the rounds have been busts ovulatory wise, but there is still hope for a big finish! And you know how fertile vacations make people... far more effective than anything an RE can subscribe according to oh so many helpful people. Um, no.
Sorry (but still hoping it's real).
