TTC - Clomiphene Cycle #5 - Oct 14

Tuesday 21.10 - Finally AF arrived, CD34 which means the Clomiphene is definitely causing me a few issues as almost always on time. I had my new 50mg prescription from the hospital all ready to go, so much easier not having to get my tablets cut in half. CD3 arrived and started taking meds, decided to try 7.30pm this time just incase of side effects with the increased dose, we'd soon know by the morning.  Weekend was super busy but was great, didnt seem to be having any issues apart from being thirsty. Was a long weekend and meds finished up on the Monday night. I had a thai curry for tea which I ate in a hurry and took my meds straight after. Lets just say not the greatest idea as was up all night with extreme nausea and vomiting, spent Tuesday working from my couch with a bucket. Im slowly starting to come right by CD12. 

Day 10 bloods showed my Estradoil levels were in the 1900s! Wow thats my highest yet, last month only in 300s and highest ive been is 700s so dosage increase definitely working. I'll post results when I get them from GP. Waited to get the call to come for scan.

Scan was 1pm Friday 31.10, Halloween. I had a new lady today, she had studied up on my notes which is great, however didnt realise id had surgery and my diagnoses was back to UU. I quickly filled her in on Streak Ovary and we started with a Doppler Scan to have a look at that one first as told her I had been getting pain in that location. She couldnt find a good shot of it so we moved onto internal scan for Endometrium and Lefty.  My lining was really thick this month, even I could see the difference so be interesting to see what it is incomparison to my normal 7mm. Cervix looked good, she had a quick hunt for the second cervix and tube they thought that had found last time. No sign. Left ovary had ALOT of follicles but we couldnt see and dominant ones. GREAT! At that stge I knew it was Streaky so we went back over and this time started scaning bit lower. Boom! There it was, so its right on my waist stretching from my right hip bone 4-6 cms across. It looked huge, so we came at it from all angles until we came across two sizeable follicles that stuck right out. Great stuff she said, I said not really as the are not going to be scooped up, ie no Right Fallopian tube. Oh well, thems the breaks, i had known it was that side as I could feel it, just was secretly hoping it wasn't. So we decided to wrap up the scan so I could get back to work. 

One of my Nurses from the hospital rang my cell at 5.30 to give me the good news re my follicles and I also had to explain to her that it was now a dud cycle and said id talk to her in another 20 days when we start Cycle 6 hoping Lefty will cooperate this time. That will be last cycle before Xmas, not sure if we can do one around Xmas, id rather keep going while we wait for New Year IVF news.

In the meantime I think ill pay visit to my GP and try and figure out why Im feeling tired, itchy and nauseous. 

Update when I know more.
