CD13 Ultrasound

I went in today (CD13) for the ultrasound. It was the first time that I actually met the RE (reproductive endocrinologist) and I didn't particularly care for her, but that's neither here nor there right now. The ultrasound itself wasn't so bad - a little weird feeling because she really moved that thing around in me to see the left ovary better, but it didn't hurt or anything.

Anyways first she told me that my uterine lining was thin and that there was fluid in the uterus. I asked if that was bad and her response was "well, it's not good." Gee, thanks.

Then she looked at my left ovary and found a very tiny follicle - at this point in my cycle the follicles should be much bigger, especially because I was on Clomid. Then she looked at my right ovary and apparently there was a very large one that she says is a cyst. She said that it's probably left over from last cycle and something about that's why the uterline lining in thin and there is fluid.

She just didn't explain things well at all and I'm pretty confused. They obviously didn't give me the HCG shot and she also said not to come in for 7dpo bloodwork, but to call when my period starts and I'll come in before CD3 to do another ultrasound to see if the cyst is gone. If it is, then I'll do the Clomid again and come back in for another ultrasound midcycle and at that time do the post coital test as well. If it's not gone then I'm not sure what happens.

Kim wasn't there but called this afternoon to see how it went - I got a lot of "hmm" responses as I told her. She's going to call me on Monday after she has a chance to look at my chart. Since she wasn't there it was hard for her to talk to me as she could only go off of what I told her Dr. Shepard said.

So pretty much it's sounding like this cycle is a bust. :(
