I'm just getting around, aren't I? First a date with the needle, today the vag cam, and sometime next week with the catheter. (Ok, I know I'm not really all that funny, but I try!)
So it started off with a fun time in the waiting room. It's sort of in two parts, and I was sitting on the side where they call the infertility patients from. It's still all one room though so it's not like you don't see or hear what's going on in the other side. A guy came out into the room, all excited, calling his parents - to tell them that they found it they are having a girl. He called about 3 different people, telling them to buy pink, etc. It was so sweet, but made me cry. So then I cried (just little tears here and there) most of the way through the appt. I'm so glad that I have Kim and Irena (the other nurse who I am really starting to like.)
Anyways, first the lining. Last cycle, at CD12 I was at 4.2. This cycle, on CD8 - it was 6! We want it to be 8+ on the day I ovulate, so everything is looking great there!
Now for the ovaries/follicles. For it to be a mature, ready to ovulate follicle, they want it to be 18mm when I trigger. In my right ovary, I have 4 follicles:
11.7 (this is the dominate one)
7.8
7.2
8.0
In my left, I have 3:
10.5
9.9
8.2
I have to admit, having 7 follicles freaks me out. It seems though that they are just concerned about the largest 3 though, as those are all closest in size. (Although 3 still freaks me out!) I know from reading on my message boards that most of the time just a couple will take off and the others will sort of stop growing. I guess if the office is happy, then I'm happy!
They're calling me later today after they get my estradiol levels from the b/w, because that will help tell the rest of the story. As it stands though, I'm keeping the same dosage and have another scan on Monday morning. They think I'll probably trigger that night, and have the IUI on Wednesday.
So we'll see how this actually all plays out!

That's awesome that your follies and lining are doing so well!!
BTW, I go to St.Christophers in Carmel. We switched to be Epicopals when we got engaged. Prior to that I was a Catholic school girl all the way!!
