Second scan (C2;CD5)

Let me start by saying I am SO glad my Dr is back from holidays... as I left my appointment, albeit disappointed as I have still not ovulated, I felt content and happy that I feel he genuinely cares about making sure I am informed and in control of this process.

So, yes - no ovulation. And, I basically expected this so not much to be surprised about. The best part about it is that Dr's calm manner did not make me upset like last time. In fact, he was very reassuring saying that it's not a matter of if I am to get pregnant, but when. When he said that, I honestly felt like jumping up and screaming with joy... the further and further we go through this process, the more I realise that this may actually be a reality. I could be a mummy very soon!

The 'good' (if you can call it that!) news is, I have now increased my dosage of clomid to 2 tablets daily, as well as starting on metfomin. My fasting glucose test results were higher than normal (19? I think) and he said that was to be expected seeing as that is the primary cause of PCOS. He said the advantage with metformin is that being a diabetic drug, it doesn't have the same risk of multiples that clomid does, and if successful, I may not even need the clomid and may be able to ovulate on my own!

As I have not ovulated, and he doesn't feel it's necessary to waste time inducing another bleed, we are starting a new cycle today as of CD5 so that I can start on my new dose of clomid and metformin as of today.

So, now we're on to CD5 of C2... I am really hoping that this cycle is the one that works, and a bit nervous - then it means we get to inseminate and go from there!

Until next time...
