I had my scan this morning. I can tell you I went in without much positivity and feeling quite anxious. I saw Dr. T today. It was my first time in all these years to meet her. She has quite the reputation (not really a great one), but I am glad to say she didn't live up to that reputation with me. The appointment went well in that regard.
Dr T was not in the least bit worried about my progress but probably because this one time I didn't mention my history.
So on Sunday I had a couple of 10mm. Today I have a 12 and 9 on one ovary and 13, 12 and 10 on the other. I don't find this particularly encouraging. All I can hope for is that one or two start to take the lead and we can proceed with an iui. If more than 2 become mature well then we have some decisions to make. I know that I will be very very upset to have to cancel a 3rd cycle.
While I was waiting at the lab this morning I overheard one of the other patients there talking about her IF experience and then she mentioned a 23 week loss. I thought to myself I have to talk with her.
I arrived at the clinic first, once she arrived I moved seats to talk to her. She lost her first at 23 weeks due to suspected IC had a preventative cerclage with her second and ended up with PTL anyways and delivered at 28 weeks. She also happens to be a labour and delivery nurse at the hospital where the clinic is and where I delivered. So needless to say we had a good talk.
I will always take advantage of talking to people who've had similar losses. The problem I am finding is that for so many of us there are too many unknowns. Lots of questions and no answers.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for my next appointment on Friday.
