Dr. L and his nurses and staff are a fabulous group of people! The calendar of events that my nurse H said she was making for me yesterday arrived in the mail TODAY!

This schedule is very tentative as it is all dependent on how my ovaries react to the Clomid.

Monday, May 12 - First ultrasound @ 8am (This is to check for cysts on ovaries.)
**Everything looked great! There were no cysts and no mature follicles, which is exactly what Dr. L wanted to see!

Sunday, May18 - Thursday, May 22 - I take 50mg of Clomid per day. (This is to stimulate ovaries to get ideally 2-3 follicles ready for ovulation.)
**Clomid arrived in the mail May 14th, right on schedule!

Friday, May 23 - Second ultrasound (to monitor follicles)
**Three maturing follicles for ovulation! (one 9mm in right ovary and two 8mm in left ovary)

Tuesday, May 27 - Third ultrasound (to monitor follicles); Receive injection of hCG (to induce ovulation)
**Right ovary has one 11mm follicle and two 6mm follicles, left ovary “not visualized” and “free fluid” seen. Blood work done to see if I had already ovulated. Results show no ovulation. Insemination postponed for further ultrasound monitoring.

Wednesday, May 28 - First insemination
**Postponed.

Thursday, May 29 - Second insemination
**Postponed.

Thursday, May 29 - Fourth ultrasound (to monitor follicles)
**Left ovary has one follicle 15mm. Right ovary has one follicle 13mm.

Friday, May 30 - Fifth ultrasound (to monitor follicles)
**Left follicle about 15mm. Possible stalled growth for right follicle. Proceeding with hCG shot and insemination.

Saturday, May 31 - First insemination
**Could not do.

Sunday, June 1 - Second insemination
**Could not do.
