CD13 update

    The waiting begins again.  I went in this morning to see how I responded to the femara this go ’round.  I had two smaller follicles on the left ovary (8 mm and 11 mm), one smaller on the right, plus a larger one also on the right at 19 mm!  That is the likely one to rupture this month.  The bloodwork was to see if I’m about to ovulate on my own, or if I need to use an HCG trigger to bring on ovulation.  Well, as usual, I’m already surging, so no trigger shot!  Yay! :) My lining was at 7 mm, which the nurse said was good, but I feel like that may be a little on the low side?  Can anyone weigh in on lining thickness?  So, the two week wait basically begins.  I’m about to ovulate soon, and I’ll call them in 2 weeks for a blood pregnancy test if my period hasn’t come by then.

Emotionally, I’m doing pretty well at this point.  I always get nervous that I’m going to need the HCG trigger, but so far I haven’t needed that.  The thought of that stresses me out during this trip every time.  Luckily, I haven’t needed to really stress over that.  So right now, I’m just happy I don’t have to do that shot!  I’m also happy that it appears that we’ve timed things very well this month.  So, the conditions are all right, let’s see if it works!  Of course, I understand that the conditions were all right other times too, without the desired results.  I just push that thought to the back of my brain and focus on the fact that the conditions right now are good, which gives us the best chance at achieving the desired result.  And that’s all I can do at the moment.  Now to just be patient during the 2ww.  I wonder how many dpo I’ll start testing this month! ;)
