Today I had my second appointment of this treatment cycle at NewLIFE. Once again, blood work and an ultrasound. I had a room full of people join me again during the ultrasound, and one of the nurses said that I have a "little, cute" uterus. That made me chuckle. I didn't know a uterus could be cute. There's nothing wrong with it, now I just know it is little and cute. When watching the ultrasound, she also said that she has "seen that type of ovaries before," whatever that means. It must not have been too important, because that conversation went no where.
Anyways...
My ovaries still had several eggs in them, and they were just checking to make sure that a few of the eggs are growing and maturing, hopefully being great candidates to ovulate. Before femara, the eggs measured at 5mm. After femara, a couple from each ovary are measuring at 11mm. This is good because we want them to continue to grow and be released from the ovary - ovulation! I read online that eggs need to get to 18mm to ovulate.
So, the nurse told me to pray that they continue to grow over the weekend, and that we will check them again on Monday. Hopefully, a few eggs will have grown and that means I will ovulate.
So, hubby and I are specifically praying that they do grow.
Monday will be the day that tells us what we're going to do. I am mentally preparing for two options (yes to an IUI or no to an IUI), seeing that this will be quickly happening early next week.
Please join us in prayer!
