I just had my day 3 blood work done Sunday and got a surprise I wasn't expecting. An ultrasound ~ UGH! Who does that on day 3?!?!! I was weirded out, but then I got to be totally involved in taking down the results which I never got to do before with the clinic from Hell. I was surprised to find out that without any help I have 5 follicles on my right and 3 on my left. I'm assuming that's normal. I haven't found out my FSH but they are having me do the Clomid challenge (which hubby still giggles about) and that meant that my blood levels are within a normal range (YAY!!!) 4 years ago we did clomid right around the same time and I got 11 follicles. So in 4 years and without drugs, I'm only down by 3. Not bad. Should be interesting to find out how many I have come next Sunday if the clomid jacks them up.

I'm still in denial that we're back in. It feels like it's too soon. I did have a mental moment while waiting for my blood draw ~ how ironic I found it to be sitting back in a fertility clinic the day I was due with my twins. Yeah, I cried. Luckily no one was around at that moment. :)

This new dr wants to do a totally different protocol which seems to make sense but I'm still going to panel you ladies if no one minds and ask tons of questions. I can't do this again, there's no other way to get healthier.

Thank you! So far FSH for day 3 is in: 6.9! Lowest it's been since we started testing in '09! Highest was 12 in '10.
