Today is CD13 and I just had a date with the vag cam. DH was with me today, but the procedure was still uncomfortable. Hubby is coming down with a cold of some sort, but I hope this doesn't inhibit our TI. So I got the scan, then we had to wait nearly 45 min for my appt with Trudy. She finally came to get us and tell us the news. Basically, I don't have any mature follicles as of yet, but one has the potential to grow in the next couple of days. On my right ovary, I only have one little bitty tiny follicle that measured 5mm. Too small to do anything for this cycle. On the left ovary, however, I have one that measured 14mm and that's the one she says can possibly grow bigger in the next few days. So she wants me to schedule another u/s for Friday, which is in 2 days, to see if it has grown any bigger. That will determine whether we trigger or wait until the next cycle. I'm keeping my fingers and toes tightly crossed that it's the first. This is the closest I've come so far. We still discussed what our next step will be should I not get my BFP this cycle :( I don't really want to think about it though. Essentially, she will increase the Clomid to 100mg for five days and run the follicle search again. I don't want to even think about moving forward with a 3rd cycle, because 1: that's already halfway to being done with using Clomid (it really only works within the first 6 cycles), 2: that's more money coming out of our pockets (we decided not to go with COBRA and so we're paying cash for everything), 3: that's waiting one more month (given I get AF on time) again. So that is that. I scheduled my scan for Friday afternoon, but this time I'm going to follow-up with the doc instead. Hubby and I were talking about the appt afterwards and he's really hopeful this cycle. I guess I'm just trying to be a realist and maybe I've been on the boards too long, but 14mm doesn't seem like that big a deal to me. But I'm trying to stay optimistic. DH says he's going to refer to it as "Lefty" in hopes of bringing some positive vibes to the situation. If anything, he made me smile.
In other news, I start my new job tomorrow. I'm excited about that. Weather has been kinda crappy and I hate driving when it's ugly outside. This new job is on the other side of town and I'm not looking forward to the drive. That just means I'll have to leave extra early tomorrow morning. Also, one of my old employers called me today. She's having issues with the tech she has now and more than likely gonna let him go. Guess who's coming to the rescue? We haven't discussed employment details yet, but I'm pretty sure whatever happens, it'll be in my favor. This doctor and I have a very close comraderie and I'm sure she'll be happy to have me back on her staff. So that's three PT jobs total and I'm working on getting 2 more, so hopefully that will keep us pretty comfortable, financially, in the meantime. It's still not FT, but it's close and that's fine with me. That's all for now. I'll update on Friday.
