Now, on to the TTC stuff. There’s a lot to update here, but no true news, if you know what I mean. To start with, I’m on CD 26, or probably the last day of cycle 17.
So let’s go back. When I last updated, I had an U/S scheduled for Jul 24, and a DR’s apt for Sep 10. So, at the end of June, ZK had a DR’s apt and asked while he was there about my progesterone results. It must’ve reminded my rather slow DR to check, because a couple of days later I got asked to come in on a Saturday for a follow up appointment. This had ZK convinced I was diing, because otherwise, why on earth would I have to go in on a Saturday? I being logical, though, and knowing DR P was going to be away the whole month of August, and was behind anyway, thought they were likely just playing catch-up. I was right. Anyhow, we went in to find out that my progesterone was low. My comment was “SURPRISE!” The DR, finally taking me seriously, did a req for 21 blood tests. Literally. Set, of course for CD 21.
Cd 21 was last Tuesday. Unfortunately, we had to be home all day because we were getting concrete poured. [I'll get to that later]. Yet one more circumstance when it would be convenient for me to be able to drive, but not as annoying as it could be, since I’ve got another CD 21 before I see the DR on Sep 10.
Now on to the ultrasound last Thursday. If you don’t remember, it was to check on a cyst found at my last pelvic U/S. The cyst was a 4 CM on my left ovary. So the male techy [a whole mindset change in and of itself for me], checked for a bit and then asked to see the requisition again. He said “We’re supposed to be checking the left?” I said “Yeah, why? Is there one on the right?” He said “A big one on the right, and a small one on the left.” I said “Small? Good. It’s shrunk then?” He said “I think so.” Later, when he checked, though, it was still at 4 CM. [Is that small? I've got no idea]. He never did say what the size of the one on my right ovary is, but I know it’s bigger.
And that’s all I know. I won’t know more until Sep 10, of course.
So, cycle 17, almost 18, with no answers, yet. Maybe some are coming, though. Not swiftly enough for me.
