So today I had a scan of my ovaries and uterus....oh so lovely. First off I must say that I was not aware of the violation I would suffer....thankfully I've had a transvaginal ultrasound before (to find out how far along I was with DS) so once I succumed to the fact that it was happening it wasn't that big of deal. So anyway - the u/s lady violated me with "the wand" and I expected to hear from my doc when she saw my pics to be like "Girl, its a hot mess up in there"....but.....
She said things looked fabulous....and she thought maybe this is my turning point cycle for things to be looking good for us. We did find that I do in fact have polycystic ovaries, but none of the follicles were huge, they were just there like a pretty ring of pearls outlining my ovaries....so PCOS I do have. But I'm already being treated for that with the met and its working and helping me to ovulate....granted not in the normal time frame but not horrendously late either. So she wasn't so worried about that. So with that being said....we also saw a nice 2 cm (20 mm) follicle eggie that either already popped out or is about to...she said it looked great, nice and smooth, and seemed to be producing a good amount of hormone.....b/c my uterine lining was a nice thick 8 mm. She said 10 is like optimal but 8-10 is about the same diff in her eyes...she said she was worried we'd see 5 mm or less based on my short LP and very light period. So she was stumped as to why the previous cycles had a short LP and such light bleeding...but like I said this may be the turning point cycle. She also said the fact that I have child already proves that the ole girl can do it we just have to be patient with her to do it.
So needless to say I am feeling good. I have in fact ovulated again and that is the first step. She said that in a few months if I'm still not preggers to have DH do a semen analysis. Even though he's fathered two sons, he was diagnosed with RA after our son was born and has been on numerous medications so we never know. His doctor didn't know of any lasting problems with fertility related to any of the drugs...but at least it would rule out DH for sure. My doc said to stop putting it all on me b/c from what she has seen with my charts and now this scan my body is doing most things right or at least working her way to getting it right. And she's proven herself once in the past that she can get it right - go Harrison!
She said next cycle if I get ancy and want to try progestrone suppositories or clomid we could. It is up to me. However, she did say clomid can thin uterine lining and we don't want to risk that if we don't have to. I told her for now I'm comfortable waiting it out and trying to do this as natural as possible. So here goes nothing......
Anyway - thanks for listening girls
...I just had to tell someone....DH just doesn't get it and too much talk of ovaries and uteruses makes him go into the deer in headlights look......
