Today's scan is like looking into a crystal ball. At this point in my treatment most things can be predicted. Basically your follicles (eggs) need to be a certain size when they are taken out of your body so what ever amount of eggs you have growing at this stage is all your going to get because any new ones that sprout up now are never going to be big enough. I'm currently on day 7 of my treatment and my eggs need to be between 12-14mm to be on track.
I had a scan at my clinic this morning but as I suspected they couldn't find my ovaries still so they sent me to a Sonographer who has a stronger ultrasound machine. He found my right ovary without a problem but had difficulty finding my left one (not a good sign) I have 2 eggs in my left ovary, 1 x 12mm and the other 10.5mm. He eventually found my left ovary and thinks he can see a small egg in there of 8mm but even if this one grows big enough they will still probably have trouble getting to it so it looks like we are working with 2 eggs.
This result is pretty much exactly what I had last time I was here. I know I should be happy with this result seeing as I'm another year older than last time but I can't help but feel disappointed. I have worked so hard these past 6 months doing everything possible to increase my egg numbers. Ive lost 14kgs, done 10 weeks of acupuncture and chineese herbs, eaten every fertility super food there is, currently taking l-arginine and increased the stimulation medication to the highest possible dose a person can be on and none of this has made a difference!!!
There is nothing more I can do though, just gotta keep going. The Sonographer will do another scan on Wednesday to recheck the sizes so we'll just have to wait and see.
