No physical side effects that I could see this month apart from the odd spike in temp but most definitely mood swings! My goodness, did help that there was a little bit of tension in our household trying to find our house-guest alternative accommodation. I was a real bitch! There were many apologies for this as no one wanted to be around me really.
Day 10 bloods came in ok for the follicular part of my cycle, levels look good so was booked in for an ultrasound.
28.05.14 - US @ Christchurch Womens Radiology - this time I had a lovely medical student doing my scan, she said she would be supervised so had no problem with that. I told them both before we began that I had a UU and again this was not mentioned anywhere so was told to always mention that at the beginning, save everyone a lot of time.
This time we got some really great scans. Ive called the hospital to get these saved to disc so I can post a few for you all.
I had 17 follicles this time! wow, 7 more than last month. Only once single dominant follicle again, this time measuring 15mm x 17mm x 12mm. My endometrium thickness was the same as last time at 7mm, and the search began for my right ovary, this turned into a bit of a wild goose chase, they looked everywhere, both having a go, trying to push my bowels out of the way. We gave up in the end, so the radiologist had a look back at my MRI from Sept 13 and thinks that I may have a tiny right ovary deep to the caecum in the right iliac fossa. Long story short right under my bowels where you appendix would normally sit.
Nurse called late that arvo to confirm no hyper-ovulation and told us we were all systems go for BMS commencing Friday 30.06. We decided to go for everyday of my 7 fertile days this month and wait and see at the Day 21 bloods (taken on day 20 as it was a Friday so Nurse and I could chat afterwards).
She phoned that afternoon of Friday 6.06 to say Progesterone looked good for ovulation this month and we will now commence the 2WW.

Its Day 24 of my cycle today and I am feeling very tired and uncomfortable which I normally am prior to my period. We have decided to take a early detection pregnancy test this month before Day 30. I am incredibly nervous and trying not to get my hopes up. Hubby's birthday next Wednesday so hoping for an early birthday present... we will see. Will post results.
Well Saturday came, we decided to do the HPT first thing in the morning. It was a fairly quick BFN but had a very very faint second line at the 10 minute mark, so we waited till Day 30 to see. AF came on Day 32 this cycle.
After doing some reading on 'timing' I have realised that those on Clomiphene can have their cycles lengthened and also ovulated later than usual on Day 19 or 20. This doesnt help! Our timing was all round O on Day 16 which tested positive on the OPK? im confused now. Just something else to talk to my Nurse about, that and the pain im getting in my right hip. Found info online about Clomiphene increasing your chances of Ovarian cancer so not taking any chances with my 'missing' right ovary.
Anyhoo, May wasnt our month, so lets try for June. Cycle 4. Ill post again soon.
