It's Not Over 'Til The Fat Lady Sings...

...and thankfully she didn't sing yesterday!  Karl and I went to my RE's office yesterday morning so we could find out why I hadn't shown a surge on the OPTs I took all weekend long.  They took blood first and then did the ultrasound.  My response to the 100 mg is nothing like my response to the 200 mg, and I could tell that as soon as my right ovary came up on the screen.  Last time there were these little circles all over the place; this time my untrained eye was having trouble finding anything.  There were 2 follicles on the right, but only 1 was worth measuring.  Even then, it still measured under a cm (the follicle has to be at least 1.8 cm for them to trigger ovulation).  On my left ovary, I had 1 follicle that measured at just 1.0 cm.  Next she measured my endometrium, and it measured at .5 and needs to be at .8.  While I dressed, she reviewed my file, and then came back to talk to us.  She said she thinks it is still just early in my cycle for me.  She said sometimes PCOS women take a little longer to develop, and based on the fact that there are a couple follicles, but they're still kind of small, and that my endometrium isn't quite thick enough (it thickens during your cycle so that if you get pregnant, the embryo has a nice cushion to attach itself to when it makes it way to your uterus), I'm just not quite ready for ovulation.  She said if my blood results matched what she was thinking, then we would need to come back on Friday morning for another round of blood work and an ultrasound.  I asked her if it is possible that the follicles will have grown more by then, and she said yes.  That gave me a little hope that our chances for conceiving this cycle aren't over.  Sure enough, my blood results were consistent with my ultrasound, so we'll go back Friday morning and hopefully everything will look better.  If you read this between now and then, please, please, please say a little prayer for us that at least one follicle will have grown big enough and that my endometrium will be thicker.  I believe in the power of prayer, and any prayers sent on our behalf mean more to me than I write.  All I can say is, "Thank you," but please know that I mean that with all my heart.
