I have a question for my fellow girls who are pursuing fertility treatments.
I went in today (CD 2) for a baseline bloodtest and u/s prior to starting Clomid. I have a 20mm cyst on my left ovary (I've never done fertility meds). I also have over 15 little follicles in each ovary (I think it was follicles!), and she said they like to see around 5. also, my lining was 9mm, and they like to see over 10mm.
I'm literally in tears over this. It looks like I will NOT be starting Clomid, and the nurse kept telling me that the Dr. will likely put me on freaking birth control. Is this some sick joke?! Over a year of wildly irregular cycles, and I get put on birth control?!
Does anyone know what is possibly wrong with me? Is this PCOS? I don't have any symptoms of that.
I'm waiting for a call from my doctor, but I am pretty bummed out right now :-(

Thanks Tiffany. I think they use b/c to get the cyst to shrink.... We'll see what he says when he calls.
(((Hugs)) on your temp drop. I hope it's implantation, and not AF!

either way I will be ok with it....:)
sorry for ur frustrations I hope things work out for you

Em,
I haven't read through all the responses but some of this doesn't sound right to me.
Chele,
Thanks so much for responding. I was hoping you would when I posted :-)
It wasn't my RE that said all this, it was the u/s tech. Now, I am kind of mad because she really freaked me out and who knows what her expertise is, you know? And I was so freaked out that I'm not sure I heard her correctly. The "over fifteen" number was little spots in my ovaries. Maybe it wasn't follicles, but little cysts? I dunno.
I got a call from my nurse at 3pm and she said they are running more tests on my blood work, and will call me with instructions today. But she made it sound like I would still do the Clomid. I guess I can't speculate until I hear from my doctor.
Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Are you waiting until 14dpo to test? Good luck. Secondary infertility sucks, that's for sure.

Chele,
My day 3 bloodwork is:
LH 7
FSH 4
Estradiol 65
Sounds good, right?
Em
Hey Em,
All those test results fell within normal values so yes they are good especially the FSH of 4.
Hi Chele,
I'm sending you big BFP vibes! Do you have any symptoms?
I have big news! I got a call from the RE's office and talked to his seemingly intelligent nurse. She said I had an enlarged follicle left over from last month, not a cyst, per se, and can go ahead and start the Clomid. She also said my lining was a bit THICK, not thin, like the tech had suggested. She said all of my bloodwork looked good, and the RE felt comfortable starting me on the Clomid.
I'll be in next Wednesday for bloodwork and an u/s. Ohhhh, i really hope this works!
I'm sure I'll be overanalyzing my side effects over the next few days......
Hugs,
Em
