Ultrasound update part III

Not too good of news. Apparently the follicles really haven't grown since my last u/s on Saturday. The doc said that the one that was dominant has in fact gotten smaller since the other day, which I didn't even know that could happen. The only thing that has progressed has been my lining. She said that my lining looks great but that my follicles are "puny." I asked if it was possible that I could still ovulate and she said that it was certainly possible but usually with a medicated cycle they like to see the follies bigger by this point in the cycle.

So, despite the news, I still think I may ovulate towards the end of the week. I am happy that my lining has progressed well, despite the lack of growth on the part of the follies. She said that once my regular OB comes back into the office on Friday that I should call her and figure out a plan of attack for NEXT cycle-->obviously implying that she's already writing this one off. She suggests that I start taking 100 mg of Clomid for next cycle. I think that before I do that, I want to have b/w done to make sure everything is OK hormone wise. I have a few days to think about what I want to talk to the doctor about.

All in all, I just can't believe this is happening. Its just one thing after another and its extremely hard to keep myself together. I feel like a ton of bricks has hit me. I know it could still happen this cycle, but with the way things are going I'm just not hopeful any more. My body just continues to betray me.

Don't give up hope this cycle!!! Hopefully you will O by the end of this week and hopefully it works out for the best. If not, you all ready have a game plan.
