PCOS?

I just heard from the clinic and my follicles are not growing and they mentioned canceling my cycle if things are not "progressing" by Wednesday. I'm not upset yet because they said the same thing last time and I made a rebound. However.. if it does get canceled I'm going to be pretty miffed. They won't store my vials at the clinic. I've paid $100 twice shipping this vial back and forth. If it goes back and I need to send it to the clinic again it will be $300 in shipping for one try! Not to mention the fact my boys are really putting in the mileage with UPS.

I may be getting myself into a bit of a panic here but I saw "PCO" in large letters written across my chart this morning.I think I have PCOS. The u/s techs have made comments more than once implying it but I've never been told by my RE that there is a problem. I'm also a bit worried that Clomid has messed up my system. I used to have very text book ovulation and now it's all over the place. I'm so frustrated that I'm forever going to be on try #6. I really wanted this to be my month.

CD 14

I had b/w and u/s this morning and I have 3 follicles but they're only 10mm, 10mm, 11mm. Hopefully all three grow at the same rate. Since today is CD14 I guess I'm having another long cycle. bleh. the good news is I do not have to go back in until Monday so I get to sleep in tomorrow!
We've decided we are not going to use our KD this month. The sperm may be free with our KD but we'll have lawyer fees and we'll need to do a second parent adoption - which we do not have to do for our anonymous donor in Ontario. If we get pregnant this cycle (which we want to, of course) we'll buy up a good batch for #2 and if we don't we'll use our KD moving forward. If we need to go the KD route I'm going to be a total newbie again since we won't have cycle monitoring anymore. I'll need to figure this all out on my own! I'm not going to worry about that yet because THIS is the cycle I'm going to get my BFP!!!

Our Donor (#3)

We've switched it up again this time and have bought the ID release donor. I feel like I'm really getting around. I've been with 3 guys (sperm) this year! Gross!

Anyhoo... here is our new donor. He has 1 chance to be the one becuase after this we're moving on to a known donor. I'm hoping and praying it works this time!!

CD 8

I went in this morning for CD 8 b/w and u/s and then spent the ENTIRE day waiting for my call. I was hoping to hear my follicle count but instead I was told they were still small. bleh. Not a very exicting update!! DW and I have decided that if this try doesn't work we're going to stop going to the clinic and start ICI with a KD. I've run out of insurance money so this try is costing us $1700 out of pocket and we're starting to feel a financial strain. I would really prefer to go to the poor house AFTER we have kids, not before.

Good to go!

I just got my call and I'm clear to go this cycle! I'm so happy! I was told to start taking my Clomid TODAY which is day 3 but my perscription says to take it day 5-9. I'm going to have to go home and back out again tonight to get it filled. They have me back again on Monday for another u/s so I know they are not confused about when I should start. When I was on Clomid days 5-9 they had me back in on the 10 so the timing works out the same. Strange but OK as long as I'm in this cycle!

I got my results and I'm so confused. LH is kind of high (16), Estrogen (521), Progesteron 2.9 and 2 follicles in my left ovary 12mm and 13mm. What the heck is going on? I thought I was done for this cycle. Stranger than strange.
