We had our ultrasound yesterday... actually to be medically correct it was a Follicle Study to determine if the Clomid is triggering follicle growth or not. Last month, when I was on 100mg, there was no growth. There were several cysts that were under 1cm in diameter. They likely were just the symptoms of PCOS.
This month; however, we did 150mg of Clomid and the results seem to prove that we're getting closer to the right dosage and one step closer to our baby. Just saying that causes and overwhelming excitement in us. We can't wait to hold our baby one day. What a day that will be... overwhelming JOY, I'm sure!
The ultrasound determined that there was one egg on the right side that was 1.4cm and two on the left side that were 1.2cm and 1.3 cm. YAY! That means the Clomid is at least triggering growth. We will know on Friday whether it's triggering growth enough to cause my body to release the matured egg or whether we need to try another month or so of Clomid. If when we go in on Friday, the eggs have reached the 2-2.5 cm that is required for them to be considered mature, then we will have an HCG shot to force my body to release the egg. If not, I'm not sure what Dr. Pete will want to do. He may want me to do another month of 150mg, or he may up it to increase the growth and release, or he may try a different more potent drug.
Whatever happens, I feel energized and very hopeful. There's just something about knowing that we are getting closer that rejuvenates us and solidifies the fact that we are on the right track. I will admit that on the way home from the appt I sat next to Heath, holding his hand, and so many pictures were flashing through my mind. As much as I've wanted a baby, I've never pictured myself pregnant. I've never thought about all the changes it will bring and the fun it will bring. I can't wait... at the same time I'm freaking out a little bit because it seems so close and so far away at the same time. I'm trying to not get my hopes up, but I will admit, it's very difficult!
My Child,
I can't wait for the moment that I will be able to share the news of you with our family. They will be so excited to meet you and love you. You need to know that Daddy and I love you already, even now, when you are just a dream of ours and not a reality yet. You will be so beautiful. We thank God every day for Him allowing you to enter our lives and hold a very special place in our hearts. Until we meet, We love you!
Mommy and Daddy
