The hunt for my elusive right ovary - Clomiphene Cycle # 4 - June 14

Got my period on my DH's birthday! How romantic xx we went to a movie so got to sit and rest for two hours which was great. I seem to take a while to come on, im getting alot of what they call old blood, then one day of heavy bleeding, then tapers off. Clomiphene started 20.06.14. No side effects again this month, the odd hot flush but really bitchy again haha.

Day 10 bloods arrive, levels look good! Will post results at a later date. Waited for phonecall re ultrasound, tuens out its going to be Saturday if they can fit me in. Didnt hear from them in the morning so went out, helped Mum and my brother take my little nephew shopping for his 3rd birthday, exhausted after chasing him around Farmers off we went to Mcdonalds. After losing him in the playgroubd i grabbed him before he coukd run back in and my cell rang. Holding his jumper with one hand and cell in other i only just managed to answer it. "Hello is this Trudi... Can you come into Womens for a scan asap as i can fit you inbetween acute cases". Heh! Great timing, let Mum with the boy and raced out of the mall and up to hospital. Turns out radiology is closed on a Saturday to the public so i had to ring through to let in. I hung in a dimly lit room on my own for a bit until Jo could scan me.

No dominant follicles on my left ovary this month. Thats strange..? Well it must be my right! The ovaries alternate per month and if you count it back the last time would have been April, our month off.

So the hunt for my right ovary commenced. A previous MRI had seen it, so had a previous Ultrasound. We tried everywhere internally and externally. During the internal i saw a puzzled look on 

Jos face. My TV screen was off that day so couldnt see what was going on. She then mentioned shed found a tubular structure filled with fluid. My right fallopian tube?! Could it be? So she followed it along, still no sign. She stopped there and said she was sure the specialist will want to know about what she'd found. The radiogist called me later that night and said not sure who to tell but no follicles to mention. I said no worries ill follow up Monday. So rang nurse, she suggested another blood test see where levels at incase im running late.  Dashed up to lab at hospital gave blood and went back to work. Cell rang in the morning, they can scan me at 1.30pm today. Levels must be still up?

So, todays scan was with Penny. Turns out its the same Penny my sister had in Fetal Medicine. Shes lovely and funny. I apparently have a nice cervix and my anatomy is great to photograph. I start with my usual "Do my notes say I have UU and one kidney and a missing right ovary? She looked at me and said i thought we were only doing ovulation induction scan? I explained my dud follicles on left so must be right and we just have to find it. She was determined, as was the previous radiologist Rex, but i had faith in her that shed find it.

Neither of us were prepared for what happened next... this will need a whole separate post...
