And so it goes...

Today is CD11 and I just got back from my u/s. All looks good so far - I have one good sized follicle on the right size and two smaller, but still good sized follicles on the left. She said the largest was measuring at 13mm so I go back on Thursday, CD13, for another check and then I'll most likely trigger Thursday night with an IUI on Saturday. Thus far, it appears to be almost the same situation as last cycle - follicle count, timing, etc. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all three follicles continue to grow nice and big and that none of them fall back at all. Unlikely, but I can still hope I guess.

Walking into my appointment I was thinking about all the different emotions I was feeling: hope, indifference, annoyance, excitement, exhaustion. I think I am still mostly numb because indifference seems to have won out. I do have some hopefulness somewhere in me but that just goes with the territory. You hear from your doctor that everything looks great and it just springs up. Unfortunately, I've been hearing the same for years and it hasn't done me any good. Therefore, indifference wins.

I'm not feeling anything in the area of my ovaries yet but I'm sure that will be changing. I have definitely had more headaches this time around - I'm sure it is the Clomid. It has been hard not to take any ad*vil for them. I did break down once last week but I only took 400mg and I figured it was still pretty early for it to hurt anything and obviously it didn't because she said my lining looked good. I think Clomid bothers me more with each cycle. I also wanted to mention that I started taking Muc*inex yesterday too. My doctor said it can help with CM and counteract the damage that Clomid can do (in regards to drying things out). I'm taking three pills a day through ovulation. I guess it is worth a shot.

So, that's all for now. I'll know more on Thursday but from the looks of it, it is pretty much the same as it has been. Nothing new or exciting.
