Glimmer of hope (C2;CD16)

Well, turns out my 9mm follicle has decided to grow and has turned into a 12mm follicle. Dr has said that it is unlikely it would continue to grow unless it was going to do something, so for the first time, I'm starting to feel a lot more confident about this cycle.

I am now booked in for another scan on Monday (he hopes it will be around 18mm by then) and if so, we may be able to start IUI (intra-uterine insemination) as early as next week if all goes to plan. But, we'll just have to wait and see. One thing I have come to expect is that nothing is 'normal' - so we just need to learn what my body is doing to kick me into action.

I have also increased the metformin from 1 to 2 tablets per day as of Monday - and for the last few days have had a lot of stomach upsets as a result. I'm not too worried, as from what I have read that is the most common side effect and it should settle down very shortly.

Until next time
